Experiences & activities

Thalasso & wellness by the North Sea

Dornum lies in the stimulating North Sea climate — the cocktail of fresh air, sun and sea. Together with the therapy and wellness centre in Dornumersiel we arrange thalasso treatments with sea water, North Sea mud and algae; the sauna in the winter garden is part of the house.

  • Outpatient spa cure instead of a clinic — stay at the hotel
  • Sauna in the winter garden (€10 / 2 hrs)
  • Spa and massage treatments arranged on request

Cycle tours straight from the hotel

As a certified "Bett & Bike" host we are the ideal base for a cycling holiday in East Frisia: star tours returning to the hotel, GPS data and secure bicycle storage included.

  • Aurich loop: 67 km day tour from the hotel
  • Routes as PDF and GPS data
  • To recover: sauna and massage by appointment

Beach, mudflats & sea

Just 5 km to Dornumersiel: fine sandy beach, the view over the endless sea and the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea. Walk barefoot across the mudflats, take a boat trip on a fishing cutter or simply relax on the beach.

  • Barefoot mudflat walks
  • Boat trips on a cutter and deep-sea fishing
  • SeeparkWest — the modern spa park

Discover Dornum

Eight centuries of history on your doorstep: the baroque moated castle (1698), Beninga-Burg (1450) and the historic museum railway — a few minutes’ walk from the hotel.

  • Dornum–Norden museum railway
  • Dornum moated castle and Beninga-Burg
  • St Bartholomew’s church with its 1711 organ

Summer

  • Barefoot mudflat walks and boat trips on a fishing cutter
