Our “Hof zwischen den Deichen” (Farm Between the Dikes), featuring three holiday apartments, is located a short distance north of the old village of Friederikensiel on the dike along the Frisian North Sea coast, in the immediate vicinity of the “Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park,” a “UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site” since 2009.
The holiday apartments have been tastefully—even lovingly—designed by us for you, are comfortably furnished, and are superbly equipped with modern amenities. For example, there are dishwashers and microwaves, and you’re welcome to use our washing machine and dryer. Of course, there’s plenty of space on and around the farm, along with several terraces and garden nooks furnished with outdoor furniture.
A short distance north of our farm lies the outer dike, and beyond it, the sea. A short distance to the south lies the “Schlafdeich”—the old dike that, following land reclamation over the past few centuries, is now located somewhat inland and no longer serves a direct coastal protection function. That’s why it’s also called the “Schlafdeich”—because it has, so to speak, found its peace.
Between these two dikes lies our farm on the polder—the land reclaimed from the sea by previous generations—which will offer you a truly unique scenic experience during your holiday. That’s why we’ve named the farm “Hof zwischen den Deichen” (Farm Between the Dikes).
Friederikensiel is a small and, in the best sense of the word, sleepy village with just over 100 residents and a history spanning more than 300 years. Friederikensiel is located about 5 km from the North Sea resort of Carolinensiel-Harlesiel and about 10 km from the North Sea spa town of Horumersiel-Schillig. In Friederikensiel and the surrounding area, there are a number of excellent seafood restaurants and many other tourist attractions. You’ll find plenty of shopping options, for example, in the nearby climatic health resort of Hohenkirchen, the heart of the Wangerland region.
The North Sea resort of Carolinensiel-Harlesiel offers a wide range of holiday activities for children and parents. For example, the “Haus des Gastes” and the “Cliner Quelle” spa centre, which offer a comprehensive range of swimming, entertainment, and relaxation options. For instance, parents can read in peace while their children are looked after by experienced staff.
Enjoy the beautiful beach in Harlesiel or go for a swim in the “Cliner Quelle” saltwater indoor pool (paddling pool, sauna, tanning beds, beauty and wellness area, and the popular “Moonlight Swim” once a week). Or, in the summer, visit the heated seawater outdoor pool in Harlesiel. For children, growing teenagers—and really, the whole family—there’s the “Happy Family Club” with programmes and plenty of activities. On holiday in Carolinensiel, there’s always something to do, whether it’s sports and games, entertainment, or relaxation.
At the Carolinensiel Museum Harbour, enjoy the view of the old ships, the harbour promenade with its cafés, tea rooms, and restaurants, as well as the paddle steamer “Concordia II,” a replica of the old “Concordia I” from 1854.
The best way to reach the beautiful and expansive sandy beach at Schillig is by bike. The North Sea spa town of Horumersiel-Schillig is about four kilometres away and is one of Germany’s most popular holiday destinations. Here you’ll find a wide range of tourist attractions, including the “Friesland-Therme,” an adventure and leisure water park. This facility is fed by a 160-meter-deep brine well. The facility also features a sauna area with a log cabin sauna, a Finnish sauna, a steam room, and a sauna garden. Guests can access the spacious outdoor area via a sort of canal. The outdoor pool is open year-round!
Hooksiel is a bit further away. From Hooksiel, you can go on a deep-sea fishing trip or explore the historic town centre with its landmark-protected harbour, or visit the former town hall with its striking onion-domed tower, now used as an artists’ house. Hooksiel used to be an important transshipment port for the town of
