An afternoon in Tönning

More information on Tönning here.

I visited the Multimar Wattforum – a great place to learn more about the Wadden Sea.

Here is where I was. Total number of km walked that day: 12,

A slightly unsettling experience on the way back: The train that normally runs between Sankt Peter-Ording via Tönning to Husum is on weekdays replaced by Deutsche Bahn buses due to rail maintenance.

As I boarded the bus back from Tönning to Sankt Peter-Ording, the driver asked me where he should go from there. It turned out that he had not driven that route before – in fact had never been to the region – and therefore also did not know where he was supposed to stop to let people off and, more importantly, pick people up (at stops with no shelter, nowhere to sit, and an hour between buses …..). In addition, it was of course pitch dark by this time. And the bus was not equipped with a GPS (!!). Well done. Deutsche Bahn, for sending a driver out into, for him, completely uncharted territory.
