Billriff

The name of the western part of Töwerland is probably taken from the Frisian word "Bille", which means "buttock". The pronounced round shape of the sandy head of the Bill Juist is good evidence of this.
A walk around the Bill is a wonderful experience, because this is where the North Sea and the Wadden Sea meet. When the water runs out, you experience the Bill reef as a large sand desert in the North Sea. This sight alone is worth the trip. The Bill Juist or Bill Reef consists of several large sandbanks with tideways between them that quickly fill with water at high tide. Be sure to check the high tide times and the weather before going on a hike. At Bill Juist, you may be lucky enough to see seals.

The Bill Reef is located in protection zone 1 (quiet zone) of the national park. Please pay attention to the signs! Entering the bill reef is prohibited. However, you may hike along the water's edge on the north side to the end of the island and back. Allow at least four hours for a hike. A signposted hiking trail leads you around the Bill dunes. As everywhere on the island, dogs must be kept on a leash.

Just before the end of the island is a former farm - the "Domäne Bill". It s a popular destination for excursions, because here you can find delicious homemade specialities such as stews and vegan dishes, with which you can wonderfully fortify yourself after a Bill hike. Particularly legendary is the Stuten, a sweet white bread with sultanas, but which also tastes good with liver sausage or cheese! So a trip to the Bill is also worthwhile from a culinary point of view.
