Bunker Museum Schlei
Bunkermuseum Schlei
A small museum in a bunker from the German 'Schlei' radar station of World War II, telling the story of the Atlantic Wall on the island.
During the Second World War, German forces built a radar station codenamed 'Schlei' on the island as part of the Atlantic Wall, leaving behind many concrete bunkers. One command bunker has been restored and turned into a museum displaying radar equipment, military items and wartime belongings of the islanders, with volunteer guides. The museum sits in the dunes near the North Sea beach. Opening days are limited, so check the official website before you set out. It can be combined with a visit to the North Sea beach.
