With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that St. Peter-Ording, 17 miles away, has to offer. St. Peter Bohl Lighthouse, Westerhever Lighthouse and Museum Landschaft Eiderstedt alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you toward Flensburg, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Flensburg Harbor. (But we’re also big fans of Gluecksburg Castle and Solitude Beach.)
