- Watt'n Blick
Watt'n Blick also proves what previously seemed impossible: gastronomy and a World Heritage Site can coexist harmoniously. Right in the middle of the dike foreland on the DECK in Norddeich, on the beach, stands a container bar that is truly unique. The clever concept is a success – more and more people are flocking there, eager not to miss this unforgettable experience. Anyone visiting Norddeich should definitely make a point of visiting Watt'n Blick and taking a relaxing break there.
Enjoy cool drinks against the picturesque backdrop of the sunset at the sea.
During the season, different DJs are there on Thursdays and Saturdays, creating a unique atmosphere.

- Walk to the "Red Post"
