Otto-Leege-Pfad

The Otto-Leege-Pfad features a wooden boardwalk extending through the eastern dunes between Wilhelmshöhe and the goldfish ponds of Juist island.

The trail was established through collaboration between the Otto Leege Institute and the National Park Administration of Lower Saxony Wadden Sea to honor biologist Otto Leege.

Seven wooden reliefs along the boardwalk illustrate the geographical transformations of Juist island from 1650 to present day through detailed carvings.

The 817-meter path includes multiple stations with information boards about local flora and fauna, connecting to several hiking routes across the island.

Metal rivets embedded in the viewing platform create a map displaying bird migration patterns across the Wadden Sea, demonstrating the area's ecological importance.
