Horumersiel

Around Horumersiel, the terrain is a low-lying tidal coast behind dikes, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and the local economy. The village stands on the North Sea edge of Lower Saxony’s Wadden Sea, where broad mudflats are uncovered by the tide and form part of the Wadden Sea National Park. Horumersiel’s harbour and the “Siel” in its name recall the drainage sluices that have long been essential to managing water on this reclaimed coastal plain. Today, beaches, walking routes and ferries in the wider Wangerland area link seaside recreation with a working maritime environment.
