Toenning (Danish: Tønning) is a city at the entrance to the peninsula Eiderstedt in North Frisia. The place at the Eider mouth is made up of the districts of Tönning, Olversum, Groß-Olversum and Kating. This is part of the urban area through the construction of the Eider Barrage resulting Katinger Watt nature reserve with the only larger forest area of the Schleswig-Holstein marshes.
background
Map of Tönning
The city was first mentioned in 1187 as Tunnighen Haeret (Harde von Tunnighen), but the year before the later St. Laurentius Church had been founded. Tönning acquired town charter together with Garding on October 12, 1590. Until 1864, the town belonged to the Duchy of Schleswig, which belonged to Denmark as a Danish fief and whose southern border was the Eider.
The current place name may have developed from “Tunnighen” (tun = Low German: fence). Tönning's city coat of arms, on the other hand, refers to a pretty legend according to which a swan was once driven on a barrel after a heavy storm surge and this was seen as a sign of God for the receding water.
For beach vacationers, Tönning offers an attractive green beach with beach chairs and some heaped sand on the Eider, which already has a "North Sea feeling" at high tide. A special feature are soft silt deposits on the beach area. The mud is said to have a healing effect on skin diseases and is also used in health applications. If you want to avoid the "black mass" while bathing, you can use two long wooden walkways as access to the Eider. When the weather is good, lifeguards are on duty at the beach on weekends and during the holidays.
What makes Tönning so attractive at the entrance to the Eiderstedt peninsula is the North Frisian small town flair with historic buildings and a good infrastructure, the historic port, which is often referred to as 'the most beautiful on the west coast', and the central location of the town with a large number of places that can also be reached by bike Cultural monuments and tourist attractions. Fashion-conscious people who like to go shopping won't find that much in Tönning (there is only one fashion and one shoe store), but Husum is only 25 km away and can also be reached by train in less than 20 minutes. A place to relax for a somewhat quieter holiday (also with children), for cyclists and for those interested in culture.
