Holiday in Langeoog

About Langeoog

Langeoog, the 'long island', with its 14 kilometers of sandy beach, impressive dune landscapes, and car-free charm, is one of the most popular holiday destinations on the Lower Saxony North Sea coast. The island compactly combines everything that makes a perfect North Sea holiday: wide sandy beaches, an intact nature in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Wadden Sea, and a cozy village center with the unmistakable character of an East Frisian island. What sets Langeoog apart from the other East Frisian islands is the island railway – the historic narrow-gauge railway takes holidaymakers from the ferry terminal directly to the village and is an experience in itself, especially for children. The highest elevation of the island, the Melkhörndüne at 20 meters, offers a fantastic panoramic view over the beach, mudflats, and sea. The dune landscapes in the east of the island are almost untouched and home to rare plants and birds. The island village has preserved its cozy character: small shops, cafés with homemade cakes, and rustic restaurants shape the streetscape. The water tower, a landmark of the island, houses a small museum and offers a wonderful view of the entire island from the observation platform. Langeoog is particularly popular with families, as in addition to the safe, supervised beach, there is a seawater adventure pool, a playground in the dunes, and numerous events for children. Access is via ferry from Bensersiel, which operates several times daily throughout the year.
