Package holiday to Wangerooge

Wangerooge is the easternmost and second smallest of the inhabited East Frisian Islands and surprises with its own unique character. While the other islands belong to the districts of Aurich or Wittmund, Wangerooge is politically part of the city of Wilhelmshaven – and this detail is reflected in an unusual mix of island tradition and mainland pragmatism. The car-free island is only three kilometers wide and eight kilometers long, but offers a beautiful sandy beach and a historically rich past.

The most prominent building on the island is the Old Lighthouse, which towers over the West Village as a landmark and now serves as an observation tower. From its platform, you have a breathtaking 360-degree view over the entire island, the Wadden Sea, and on clear days, all the way to the mainland and neighboring islands. The New Lighthouse at the western tip is one of the youngest lighthouses in Germany and guides ships through the Jade Estuary into the Jade Bay.

Wangerooge has a tumultuous history: the island has been devastated multiple times by storm surges over the centuries, and the village had to be relocated three times. This history is vividly told in the island museum. Particularly worth seeing is the Rosengarten Promenade along the southern side with views of the Wadden Sea. The journey from Harlesiel by ferry takes about 90 minutes, after which the island train takes guests to the village. Wangerooge is ideal for families and those seeking tranquility who are looking for an authentic island experience.

Wangerooge particularly impresses with stunning beaches, breathtaking nature, family-friendly offers, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
