Westerholt

Westerholt is a small village on the island of Langeoog, part of the East Frisian Islands off the coast of Lower Saxony, in the North Sea. This car-free island is known for its expansive sandy beaches, protected dunes and unspoilt natural surroundings, ideal for long walks and cycling, the preferred mode of transport on the island.
