For a quiet outing with binoculars, this is the loop we would choose. Allow time along the way to stop and look.

Our suggestion for a long day in the saddle: plan several breaks and factor the wind into your decision before you set off.
View on the official cycle map ↗Routes and approximate distances according to the Tourismusservice Pellworm and the cycle map, March 2026 edition (PDF), checked on 17 September 2026. The distances apply to the official loops; the ride there and back from Haus Westerschütting is not individually included.
Haus Westerschütting is in the south-west of the island, which is why we introduce the southern loop, Südersiet, first. Choose where to join the loop on the official map and plan your way back to the apartment at the same time.
The PDF map shows all four routes and the island’s roads. Open it before you set off or save it for the ride. For a spontaneous break or a shorter day, it helps to have looked at the route beforehand.
Open the cycling & walking map (PDF) ↗Many sections run along roads. The map lists separate footpaths and cycle paths at the Junkersmitteldeich and the Liliencronweg.
Karkenstieg: According to the cycle map, unsuitable for bikes. On the Südersiet loop, use the return route described along the Junkersmitteldeich.
Bupheverkoog: Observe the restrictions for the protected area and switch to the inland side of the dyke as shown on the map.
Vogelkoje: The tourism website currently reports it as closed. Don’t plan it as a stop. As of 17 September 2026.

For a ride with children, what matters is a route everyone can enjoy. A shorter day with a long break can be just as lovely as the big island loop.

The 14, 15, 16 and 27 kilometres given refer to the loops published by the tourist office. The map describes starting at the harbour or ferry terminal. To start from our holiday apartment, use the map to choose where you join the loop; this changes your own total distance.
That depends on your fitness, the wind and the routes you’re planning. For a relaxed break, you can also choose a shorter loop. If you’d like an e-bike, ask the local hire shop about models and availability in advance.
Yes. Inselfahrräder at Uthlandestraße 4 offers touring bikes, e-bikes, children’s bikes and trailers, among others. Arrange reservations, prices and pick-up times directly with the hire shop; bike hire is not part of your accommodation enquiry with us.
