Krummhorn: Aussichtspunkt Greetsieler Yachthafen - Sielzufluss - Yachtclub Greetsiel e.V. - Bootshafen Greetsiel
Greetsiel combines a working-harbour character with the quiet order of a dike-lined East Frisian settlement in a way that reflects its coastal position on Ley Bay. Part of the municipality of Krummhörn in Lower Saxony, it developed around a tidal sluice and harbour system linking the village to North Sea waters. The Greetsieler Yachthafen and Bootshafen stand beside the channel known as the Greetsieler Sieltief, with brick gabled houses gathered along the quay. Fishing boats and pleasure craft share this compact waterfront, while marshland and sea dikes set its wider scale. Greetsiel is also associated with a pair of historic Dutch-style windmills, a familiar feature of the East Frisian coast.

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.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
