Krummhörn lies along the North Sea coast of East Frisia, where drained marshes, canals and dikes lead out toward the Wadden Sea. The municipality is made up of 19 old village communities, giving this rural corner of Lower Saxony a dispersed rather than urban character. Greetsiel, its best-known harbour village, is noted for its fleet of shrimp cutters and the pair of historic windmills on its edge. Nearby, the red-and-yellow Pilsum Lighthouse has become a familiar East Frisian landmark. The Wadden Sea’s tidal flats are part of a UNESCO World Heritage property shared by Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.
