30 kilometres away from everyday life
At around 30 kilometres from the German coast, Borkum not only has a wonderful distance from everyday life. It is also the only East Frisian island to be influenced by a high seas climate all year round. Unlike its smaller neighbouring islands in the North Sea, Borkum is always completely surrounded by seawater - which is why the air here is always particularly low in pollen and rich in iodine. As a result, there is nowhere on the German North Sea where you can breathe more deeply. And the temperatures are mild: the Gulf Stream ensures that the summers on Borkum are not too hot and the winters are never very cold.
High-sea climate, endless sandy beaches and a charming island town with a wide range of cultural activities: Borkum offers everything you need for an all-round perfect North Sea holiday all year round. The high seas pearl under a wide sky directly invites you to come back. Borkum has a total of around 300,000 guests per year, not only from Germany, of course. It is therefore advisable to book a holiday home or flat early. Dogs are often allowed, and a balcony or terrace and small garden are usually included.
The Wadden Sea World Heritage Site fulfilled three criteria for its Unesco title: It has an unusual universal value, it is unspoiled and its protection is guaranteed. For example: every year, around 10 to 12 million birds stop for a short or long rest in the Wadden Sea on their way from their breeding grounds in Siberia, Scandinavia or Canada to their wintering grounds in Western Europe and Africa or back.
Or the visitor follows an insider tip: away from the main beaches, there are other impressive stretches of beach to discover on Borkum. Here's a little insider tip: First, take a bike or bus to the naturist car park. Then the walker passes the "Dünenbudje" and walks up to the beach, leaving the nudist bath on the left and heading right towards Hoge Hörn. Then a wonderful beach walk awaits him that he will not soon forget.
But a few days on the beach are also a must: Because of the good Borkum offshore air, the tradition of beach holidays began here. And for good reason, it continues to this day. Because the purest relaxation in the truest sense of the word happens here quite incidentally - while the holidaymaker sits in the beach chair, feels the warm sun rays on his skin and the soft sand between his toes or dives into the magnificent waves of the North Sea to refresh himself.
Depending on how you like it, you can make the most of Borkum's beach life either actively, with lots of sport and exercise, or meditatively and quietly. Perhaps those who are exhausted would just like to shift down a gear, read a book and let their gaze wander. With every breath, everyone takes in the healthy sea air and feels reborn. Surely many will soon close their eyes, let a gentle breeze caress their skin in the sun and listen carefully again: to the surf and the seagulls. For a more active change, you can cycle through the island's unspoilt nature now and then - for example, to the endless expanses of the Ostland. A summer day on Borkum ends when the sun gently sinks into the sea, day gives way to night and the canopy of stars opens up.
