Your Journey to the Car-Free Island –
By Ferry to Juist
Juist is, in our eyes, the most beautiful of the East Frisian Islands – we lovingly call it the “Töwerland”, our magical island. Peaceful and car-free – and not accessible at all times. Your journey to our hotel on Juist begins with a relaxing ferry crossing that already gives you a taste of holiday feeling. From the harbour of Norddeich Mole, the ferry takes you directly to the beautiful North Sea island of Juist.

Experience the magic of Juist already during your journey
During the ferry crossing, you can enjoy the fresh North Sea breeze and the soothing sound of the waves. The Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveals all its beauty and lets you leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind. This is where relaxation begins – Juist can only be reached by ferry or plane, and that is exactly what makes the island so special.
As soon as you arrive at the island’s harbour, you will feel as though you have entered another world. No cars, no stress – just peace, nature, and endless open space. Let yourself be enchanted!
Book your crossing with one of the Juist ferry services and begin your journey to Hotel Achterdiek – the magical island of Juist. We wish you a pleasant journey and look forward to welcoming you soon on Juist!
