Fishing harbours, windmills and tea, the Wadden Sea at low tide and islands offshore.

East Frisia is flat, green and wide: dykes, windmills and brick villages, harbours like Greetsiel with its shrimp cutters, and tea taken very seriously. At low tide you can walk the Wadden Sea — a UNESCO site — with a guide, and ferries leave for the East Frisian islands. Cycling is the way to get about.
