Borkum Essentials

Borkum, the largest of the East Frisian Islands, is defined by its deep maritime history and bracing North Sea climate. This selection highlights the island's dual lighthouses—the 19th-century New Lighthouse and the distinctive red-and-white Electric Lighthouse. Key cultural sites include the Heimatmuseum Dykhus, which explores the local whaling industry, and the historic whale jawbone fences. Visitors can explore the Borkumriff IV lightship, visit the Nordsee-Aquarium, or view the expansive dune landscape from the Ostland lookout point.
