Nature

Büsum has been a partner of Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park since 2003. The tidal channels in the Wadden Sea off Büsum can shift by up to 100 metres within a year. At the Perlebucht family lagoon, Watt'n Insel offers swimming, water sports, beach soccer and beach volleyball. It also includes a landscaped dune area with protected hollows and natural areas featuring salt-marsh-like vegetation.

Culture

Historic ships are moored year-round in Büsum Museum Harbour, including the gaff cutters Margaretha and Fahrewohl as well as the sea rescue vessel Rickmer Bock. A tour of the museum harbour conveys the history of merchant shipping and displays historic fishing equipment. Büsum's fishing harbour is home to the town's fleet of shrimp cutters; visitors can buy fresh shrimp directly from the cutters there.

The museum am meer presents the history of shrimp fishing in Büsum as well as the history of the seaside resort since 1837. Its facilities include interactive hands-on stations, a play area and a historic Spiegelkutter from 1920 in the outdoor area. The museum also displays an original shrimp-sorting facility, a walk-in wheelhouse and a film about a voyage at sea.

Getting Around

From Büsum Harbour, excursion boats operate day trips to Heligoland as well as fishing and catch trips at sea. When cycling in Büsum, the North Sea, the surrounding meadows and fields, or the fishing village can determine the route; cultural sights and natural features can be found along the way.

Watt'n Hus offers step-free and wheelchair-accessible access on all floors open to guests.
