Dunum is a small farming village and is located away from the main roads. Nevertheless, you can reach the coast and the North Sea Health Spa Bensersiel by car in about ten minutes. The districts and farms in Dunum are spread over a large area. We offer you an unforgettable holiday with bossel games, barbecue evenings, folk theatre, carriage rides and joint cycling and hiking tours.
Dunum is also in an excellent transport location for the many excursion destinations in East Frisia. It is not far to the coast and thus to the tourist and spa facilities, for example, in the North Sea Health Spa Bensersiel and in the North Sea Health Spa Neuharlingersiel or also to the old knight and bear town Esens. However, you do not have to pay a tourist tax with us. Only if the "North Sea Service Card" (spa card) is worthwhile for you, we will also offer this option.
Around Dunum you will find the original East Frisian hedge landscape, extensive wetlands with a beautiful and interesting flora and fauna as well as a large forest with a rich wildlife. You will be amazed at how often you can cycle along the side roads and cycle paths and observe numerous wild animals in the meadows and fields at dusk.
According to the old legend, under Dunum's "Radbodsberg" lies the grave of the Frisian king Radbod. He managed as the only chieftain to unite all Frisian peoples and to win a historical victory against the Northmen. Our old brick church from the 13th century is also a special sight.
The East Frisia hiking trail leads directly past our farm through Dunum and offers you the healthiest connection to the North Sea by bicycle to the coastal and North Sea health spas or to the dike. For this, we Dunumers have also prepared a cycling and hiking map for you. Our location is ideally suited for walks, cycling tours and discovery trips of all kinds into the unique and diverse nature of East Frisia. Experience your holiday at the North Sea actively and relaxed and benefit optimally from the beneficial climate of the North Sea.
