Spanning a total length of just 17 kilometers (10.6 miles), the snake-shaped island of Juist is the longest of the seven inhabited East Frisian islands. The island is also lovingly called Töwerland or “Wonderland”, quite an appropriate name for such an otherworldly place. Here, visitors are greeted by horse drawn carriages, bicycles, elderberry bushes and grassland, blanketed in a breeze from the North and Wadden seas. Joining your company are colonies of seals and migratory birds, probably on their way to freshen up on the island’s only freshwater lake.
Juist has only around 1,500 residents, which rely mostly on the island’s tourism industry. Since the 19th century, it has been known as a seaside resort and holiday getaway. In 2009, the island was granted UNESCO World Heritage status, which eventually attracted even more visitors. Today, the island is popular for its health benefits, thanks to its Thalasso climate (salty air and sunshine) and therapeutic mud flats. Despite Juist’s reputation as a wellness destination, there is no shortage of activities. The island celebrates its annual music festival during late spring and by September, there’s the crime fiction festival - quite an unexpected event for an idyllic island paradise.
Whether you’re into health and wellness or just a simple traveler exploring the islands of Germany, there’s a lot in store for every visitor traversing its streets and beaches.
