Nordseeinsel Juist

Island of Juist: Töwerland, friendship for life, the most beautiful sandbank in the world

Worth a visit at any time: the island of Juist lies between Borkum and Norderney as the "second from the left" in the string of pearls of the East Frisian islands. The North Sea island is car-free and impresses with its horse-drawn carriages, which act as cabs, suppliers and attractions.
Just 17 km long and (depending on the prevailing tide) between 500 and 900 m wide, Juist is a true paradise for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation. There are exciting events in the evenings and plenty to do during the day with a wide range of beach sports and children's entertainment.
Long walks along the wide, almost completely unspoiled beach attract numerous guests. But the beach never seems crowded!
Juist is tide-dependent: Arrival by ferry or water cab is only possible when the water level is high enough and the island is only approached by island planes (from the north) during the day when visibility is good enough. This means that day trips are rarely possible on Juist, so that the island almost never feels overcrowded or full. A real haven of peace!
In addition to the largest freshwater lake of the East Frisian islands, the Hammersee, Juist delights its guests with

• the huge dune landscape
• the traditional village full of red brick houses
• the idyllic Januspark
• the true sandy deserts, which look like an alien landscape, at Kalfamer and the Bill - the eastern and western ends of the elongated island
• the Gesamtkunstwerk-Otto-Leege-Pfad
• the mystical grove with its deer
• the fascinating Wadden Sea National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site

Juist is affectionately referred to as a friendship for life because many guests have been vacationing here for years - if not generations. And that says more than anything else! Juist has up to 80% regular guests. A true distinction! Also known as "Töwerland" - magic land - the narrow North Sea island enchants with the great hospitality of the Juist locals
