The Butjadingen peninsula, framed by the Jade Bay, the North Sea and the Weser estuary, offers access to the Wadden Sea National Park on all sides and stands for a green, wide landscape, fresh, salty air and a rich nature. In the south of Butjadingens lies the quiet village of Eckwarden. It has a small but well-stocked supermarket that even opens on Sundays during the season, and a country inn with a generous menu - all within walking distance. A noaarow street leads to the dike and small harbour of Eckwardersiel in approx. 1000m distance. Away from the bustle of life, you can peacefully enjoy natural spectacle of the sea and walk along the fortified dyke along the water. On the groynes, protruding into the sea ,small sandy coves have formed, where everyone can still find his "own" small sandy beach. The next official beach in Eckwarderhörne is about 3km, a little further away are the North Sea baths Tossens and Burhave with larger beaches, a wave pool and the North Sea lagoon and the old fishing cutter harbour Fedderwardersiel, where regular trips to the Wadden Sea are offered. From Eckwarderhörne you can also take guided walks in the wadden sea or go by ferry to the naval port of Wilhelmshaven. Other destinations are Bremerhaven with its many museums, the Jaderberger Zoo or the cities of Bremen and Oldenburg.
