Wangerland

Wangerland

The Wangerland on the Lower Saxony North Sea coast is one of the most charming regions of East Frisia and an ideal place for an adventurous convertible tour in Lower Saxony. Between green dikes, quaint villages, and the expanses of the Wadden Sea unfolds a coastal landscape that promises peace and relaxation. Whether coastal roads, historical warf villages, or small harbors – there is plenty for explorers with an open top to experience in the Wangerland.

Coastal Idyl and Frisian Charm

The name Wangerland does not refer to a single location, but to an entire municipality with around 16 localities – including Horumersiel, Schillig, Hooksiel, or Tettens. Each place has its own history, atmosphere, and landscape character. Particularly popular are the seaside resorts of Hooksiel and Schillig, which are located directly at the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea.

Schillig, for instance, is known for its white sandy beach – one of the few genuine sandy beaches on the East Frisian coast. While one can relax there with a view of the sea, Hooksiel offers a special blend of art and seafaring with its historic harbor, the artist house, and the maritime promenade.

Away from the coast, the Wangerland reveals a rustic, almost untouched village culture. The small churches, alleys, and historic Gulf farms tell stories of the long settlement history and the traditional life between marsh and geest.

Driving Pleasure Between Dikes and the North Sea

A convertible tour through the Wangerland is a drive through a soothing landscape, where wind and clouds dictate the pace. The roads are well-developed, quiet, and lead along wide fields, sheep pastures, and occasionally directly along the dike. Time and again, windmills, lighthouses, and warf villages invite one to stop and linger.

Between Hohenkirchen, the administrative seat of the municipality, and the beach resorts by the sea, green avenues, small streams, and wide horizons alternate – ideal for enjoying the driving breeze and inhaling the fresh North Sea air deeply.

Coastal Feeling with Character

The Wangerland is a piece of authentic Friesland, where one can still experience the North Sea coast from its original side. Far away from large tourist crowds, but with everything needed for a successful day at the sea. Those seeking the genuine and original will find it here – and those who also want to experience the freedom of a convertible tour will find an ideal route in this region.
