Berumbur between nature trails, lakes and cycling routes
Accommodation in Berumbur
Berumbur combines a fishing and nature trail, lakes and two cycling routes with a historical connection in the surrounding area. Berumbur has been officially recognised as a health resort with a therapeutic climate since 1982. This brings together nature, cycling and East Frisian history as different travel interests. If you are looking for accommodation, you can first consider which of these themes you want to shape your stay.
Discover nature at the fishing and nature trail
The “Heidemann's Kuhle” fishing and nature trail was opened to the public on 20 June 1999. An insect hotel and additional information boards were installed along the trail. This brings nature and fishing themes together with engaging information features. For travel planning, this offers a distinct focus alongside cycling routes and lakes.
Lakes and time by the water
Two lakes in Berumbur are used for fishing. Berumbur Kiessee is an inland lake with no inflows or outflows, and invites you to linger and unwind. This places both active use of the lakes and time by the water side by side in the local landscape. Kiessee offers a different focus from the cycling routes: here it is about lingering, while there it is about following a specific route.
Cycling routes with different local connections
Two cycling routes have specific local connections. ADFC Cycle Route 6 runs from Norden to Dornum and back; it passes through Berumbur and Kleinheide. The “Through the Herrlichkeit to the Sea” route also passes through Berumbur, where it turns onto Wichter Weg. This gives you a clear distinction when choosing a route: the ADFC tour is defined by its connection to Norden and Dornum, while the other is identified by its turn-off in Berumbur.
A historical connection in the surrounding area
Berum Castle, in the area around Berumbur, was once the ancestral seat of the Cirksena chieftain family. Alongside nature and cycling routes, this adds a historical theme to your travel planning that extends beyond Berumbur itself into the surrounding area. If history matters to your travel plans, this connection adds a specific chapter of East Frisian history to your options.
Choose the focus of your trip
When planning your trip, it is worth weighing things up simply: should the nature trail define your trip, are the cycling routes more important, or would you mainly like to spend time at Kiessee? The historical connection to Berum Castle adds another option if East Frisian history matters to you. This makes it possible to decide what you want to focus on during your stay before looking for accommodation.
In the wider destination of Aurich
In the wider destination of Aurich, the Fehntjer Tief Nature Conservation Centre is an extracurricular learning centre for environmental education, as well as a place for community engagement and public outreach. It is committed to preserving the natural and cultural landscape of “Fehntjer Tief”. In spring and summer, schoolchildren and visitors can experience the plant and bird life of the wet meadows on walks, by bicycle or on foot. The centre is housed in a listed Gulfhaus, a typical East Frisian farmhouse dating from 1843. Seasonal nature experiences and a specific example of East Frisian architectural heritage therefore go hand in hand here.
