Dangast - Arts & Nature at the Jade-bay

Uniquely situated on a geest ridge bordering the World Heritage Wad-den Sea, Dangast induced the Earl of Bentinck to found exactly here a first seaside resort, already 200 years ago. Strolling through the village past the little fisherman´s houses you are greeted by works of art, docu-menting a long-standing tradition of artists.

Here you find diverse facilities to vary your spare time activities. Expe-rience the particular atmosphere of your North Sea holidays during a tour with the pleasure steamer “Etta von Dangast”, a cycling tour along the dyke with teatime, a guided walk along the information paths, a walking tour through the mud flats at low tide or a visit to one of the many events.

Varel Harbour

Enjoy the fresh breeze at Va-rel Harbour, visit Varel Brew-house or the Spijöök Museum of Curiosities, refresh with a draught beer in the “Smallest Pub” and enjoy fresh fish in the restaurants around the harbour.

Varel Forest

One of Varel´s landmarks are the stony pillars called “Steinernen Pfeiler”. The forest´s access-gate at the end of the street Windallee symbolizes one of Varel´s characteristics: where else is there a natural forest in the middle of a city? It is a recreation area in central location – not only for those in need of relaxation, nature explorers, hikers, cyclists and joggers.
