Find the Friendship for Life on Juist

Long sandy beaches on one side, wide and flat, flanked by dunes and the wonderful North Sea, on the other side the multi-faceted Wadden Sea, seemingly an eternity away from the stress of everyday life on the mainland, above you the blue sky, sometimes sprinkled with a few fluffy clouds, the point where the sea and the horizon kiss in the distance, a little wind blowing around your nose. Yes, Juist really is the most beautiful place on earth - at least in our absolutely non-objective opinion.

Right or left? Get on your bike or go on foot? Juist offers you a completely blank canvas to live out your vacation dreams. Explore the most beautiful corners of the island. Hike through the enchanted forest or take an extensive walk on the beach, cycle past enchanting dune landscapes and picturesque salt marshes, explore lonely stretches of land. Enjoy your vacation time at sunset with a drink in your hand. Look forward to culinary delights. Experience the festival atmosphere at concerts. Spend time with yourself, your family or your friends. Feel the connection to nature, reminisce, feel your emotions. In short: Make Juist your favorite island!

The daily newspaper is only available after the first plane has landed, letters are only delivered after the arrival of the ferry, the excuse "Sorry, I can't come: I missed the ferry" really applies: Juist is located in the middle of the Wadden Sea and (apart from a flight or traveling with one of the express ferry) can only be reached by island ferry once or twice a day at the most.

Have you ever been to the harbor at low tide? Then you know why the big island ferry is so limited in its sailing times. The narrow channel between Norddeich pier and Juist harbor zigzags through the Wadden Sea, seemingly as thin as a thread. It takes some skill on the part of the captains to steer their craft safely from the mainland to the island.

Juist lives with this tidal dependence. Sure, it can be constricting at times, but above all, it's incredibly relaxing. You don't believe us? But you should! We are reminded that despite all the technical progress we humans have made, we are still only ... "guests" on earth. We have to submit to the natural force of the tides. Knowing that you won't get off the island anyway (medical emergencies excluded - we're keeping our fingers crossed that you never get into the situation of experiencing firsthand what it's like to have to be transported to the mainland by rescue helicopter) is incredibly relaxing. You can let go of the reins and just focus on being here, slowing down and relaxing.
