Spiekeroog is an 18.25 square kilometer East Frisian island in Lower Saxony. Anyone looking for peace and quiet away from the hectic everyday life is in the right place on the car-free pedestrian island with its bathing beach, the cozy island village and the beautiful dune landscape. With around 800 inhabitants, the island has around 3,500 guest beds. In 2019 there were 95,707 guests with 607,089 overnight stays on the island.[1]
background
Island character
Like every North Sea island, Spiekeroog has its own special character. Spiekeroog calls itself the green island. While there are cars, large hotels and entertainment facilities on other islands, Spiekeroog is one of the quietest North Sea islands. The small village is always full of people in the main season, but due to the low houses and narrow streets it usually looks quiet, contemplative and idyllic. Spiekeroog is therefore particularly suitable for holidaymakers who are looking for peace and quiet, want to swim with the family or, even in winter, want to go for walks. The audience is more academic, alternative, calm and well-off. There are also many youth and school groups. If you are looking for a dignified short vacation or want to party, Spiekeroog is rather poorly served.
Familys
The island is very suitable for children up to 8 years of age. The island offers a multitude of advantages for this age group. The children can play with sand and water in a variety of ways on the beach. Be sure to take enough sand toys with you, a shovel should not be missing. The freedom of movement for the children is hardly restricted and hardly dangerous on the paths. It is ideal, for example, to learn to ride a bike on the island. A balance bike for smaller children is a good idea. If necessary, you can borrow a handcart or bring it with you.
Older children and young people can actively interact with the Sports program, kite surfing, sailing and horse riding.
senior citizens
The island is ideal for seniors (including early retirees). However, the disadvantage for them is the poor medical care. You should also be able to walk well in order to be able to reach at least the main beach (approx. 10-15 minutes walk). If you are limited on foot due to health problems, you can still do that as a taxi "Island mobi" to order.
People with reduced mobility
For people with restricted mobility a lot is being done on Spiekeroog. However, the island is not completely barrier-free, as Spiekeroog is a traditional and natural island. A largely barrier-free ferry crossing is possible with the combined ferry "Spiekeroog IV". Then stand on the island Inselmobil, CadWeezle and Strandmobile available. A Overview about the accessibility of public facilities is a useful aid.
dogs
For nature conservation reasons (protection zones of the national park), slightly different ones apply on the island Regulations, leash is compulsory in large parts of the island. Dogs must also be on a leash in the village area. Dogs are also not allowed on the main beach. The exception here is the dog beach with a free-range zone. Here the animals are allowed to run around freely under supervision (but please make sure that no other holidaymakers are bothered). Beach chairs are specially rented to dog owners near the dog beach. The ferry ticket for dogs costs € 46.40 (return trip).
Flora and fauna
Trees are naturally in short supply on Spiekeroog due to the special habitat. However, man has started systematic planting to end the drifting sand and dune migration in the settlement area. Species such as black pines and dwarf oaks, which are resistant to salt, were planted. Birch trees can also be found in the dunes. Today Spiekeroog has a relatively green belt of dunes (even with a few small forests).

Many beautiful, winding paths lead through the dune area, which are ideal for walks. These paths are often well equipped with benches so that it is not far to the next rest break. There is shade and shelter in some of the woods. If you want to look far into the country, you can visit the viewpoints on the dunes:
- At the 1 "De Utkieker" lookout point "De Utkieker" has been standing since 2007, this is a naked, very wiry, human sculpture in the form of a "far-sighted one". The 3.5 m bronze sculpture is the work of the Cologne artist Hannes Helmke, who has been spending his summer vacation on Spiekeroog for years. Incidentally, the placement of the sculpture was controversial (protection of the landscape). A wide panoramic view of the island opens up from the vantage point, stretching as far as Wangerooge. There is also a telescope and a bench.
- 2 Viewpoint at the beach access "ev. Leisure home "
- At the 3 Viewpoint at the beach access "mother and child health clinic" there is a small beach view to the north.

- The 1 Old island church
was built in 1696. It is the oldest island church on the East Frisian Islands. The altarpiece is neo-Gothic. The altar table and the altarpiece were made by the islanders. The Renaissance pulpit is dated to the 16th century and is decorated with Low German inscriptions and floral motifs. According to tradition, the late medieval Pietà and parts of the pulpit come from a ship of the Spanish Armada that was stranded off the island in 1586. The offering box was made from flotsam in 1676. The windows, decorated with symbols of the evangelists, have features of Art Nouveau. The windows were donated by regular island guests. In the cemetery at the island church there are several gravestones from the 18th century.
- The 2 New Evangelical Church was built in 1961. It serves the islanders as a "summer church", as the old island church does not offer enough space in the summer months when tourists visit the island. Findings during the excavation work suggest that the site was used as a cemetery from around 1600 to 1750. A tombstone plate serves as the altar plate. This is to document the connection to the Old Island Church and the surrounding cemetery.
- The 3 Catholic Church of St. Peter is a branch of the Catholic parish “St. Willehad ”in Esens. It is the youngest (it was completed and consecrated in 1970) of the East Frisian Catholic island churches: an unusual building that surprises people, but then also casts a spell with its architecture. It has the shape of a polygonal pyramid or an Indian tent. The copper roof extends to the ground and is criss-crossed by three narrow window strips. more...
- The small, beautiful, well-groomed one 4 rose Garden is in the middle of the village. Small, square, fine - a small rose oasis.

The elm towers above the building on the street corner and protrudes far into the main street. Rarely strong Copy for the North Sea coast.
- The small 6 Spa gardens wants to be discovered. The two entrances are not that easy to find. The approximately 100 x 150 m large facility in the village has a dense, shady tree population and a pond with "bridges". The park is therefore a nice place to relax on very hot or very windy days. Otherwise there is a playground and a public toilet (located on the garden path).

From the dike you can always enjoy spectacular sunsets. Otherwise, on a clear summer night, just sit down on a bench and enjoy the starry sky. This is much more impressive on Spiekeroog than in many large cities with nocturnal "light pollution".

sustainability
Spiekeroog entwickelt sich zu einer nachhaltigen Insel mit dem Ziel der maximalen CO2-Einsparung und insgesamt großer ökologischer Vorbildfunktion für seine Gäste.
Das Projekt Bildungsinitiative Nachhaltigkeit wird von drei Institutionen der Insel getragen: Hermann Lietz-Schule Spiekeroog, Umweltzentrum Wittbülten sowie Gemeinde Spiekeroog mit den Bildungseinrichtungen Kindergarten Lütt Insulaners und Inselschule Spiekeroog.
Die Räumlichkeiten der Nordseebad Spiekeroog GmbH werden ausschließlich mit Ökostrom betrieben. Für das kommende Jahr 2018 ist die Einführung eine Pfandbechersystems vorgesehen.

Sylvester auf Spiekeroog
Auf Spiekeroog wird der Jahreswechsel traditionell sehr ruhig vollzogen – auch wenn es ein vollständiges Feuerwerksverbot nicht gibt. Anders als in vielen Festlandsgemeinden gibt es auf Spiekeroog jedoch sehr weitgehende Einschränkungen: So ist Feuerwerk im gesamten Nationalpark Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer strikt verboten, ebenso auf allen öffentlichen Wegen und Plätzen sowie am Strand. Weitere Einschränkungen gelten im Dorf aufgrund der dichten Besiedlung und im Umkreis von 200 m der drei Kirchen.
