Westerhever lies along the North Sea coast on the Eiderstedt peninsula, where tidal flats, salt marshes and broad dikes extend towards the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea. This low-lying coast is governed by the tides, and its Wadden Sea forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site shared by Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. Westerheversand Lighthouse, with its red-and-white bands, is the area’s defining landmark; it entered service in 1908 beyond the village amid protected marshland. Eiderstedt’s open farmland, scattered farmsteads and long coastal horizons give the area its distinctive character.
