Those who want to explore nature more closely can do so quite comfortably in passing. Because on the main island 22 stations and on the dune again 14 stations with boards and pyramids inform about flora and fauna of the island.
The nature trail starts in the lower island at the landing stage, leads the guest along the eastern part of the upper island to Lange Anna and from there back along the western cliffs.
The 90 minutes you should plan for it are well worth it! Almost all of the natural treasures can be easily reached via the signposted paths. Thus, nature can be observed very closely without disturbing it.
Rare plants such as the sea fennel or the cliff cabbage, the mother plant of all cultivated cabbage varieties, grow on the extensive green areas and on the steep cliffs. In wild form it grows in Germany only on Helgoland.
In the flower meadows, orchids, arrow cress, coltsfoot and many other colorful plant species bloom in spring and summer.
Then you can also meet numerous butterflies such as the large and small cabbage white butterfly and the pigeon tail. The buckthorn bushes in the northeast area bear their bright fruits until late autumn.
