Husum Harbour & Old Town
Husum Binnenhafen und Altstadt
The "grey town by the sea," where brick gabled houses around the inner harbour, the market square and the home of writer Theodor Storm are the highlights.
Husum is the central town of North Frisia. The brick gabled houses and fishing boats along both sides of the inner harbour make a classic scene, and you can eat North Sea brown shrimp bread at the waterfront. The writer Theodor Storm called it the "grey town by the sea" in one of his poems. His house, the Theodor-Storm-Haus, preserves his study and manuscripts. Nearby are the North Sea Museum and the Tine Fountain in the market square. Husum is about 45 kilometres from St. Peter-Ording, around one hour by train, and suits a half-day trip.
