The inhabitants and holidaymakers on Borkum can always rely on the wind. Likes its sisters in the chain of East Frisian Islands, Borkum, the westernmost island, is firmly in the grip of the characteristic North Sea climate.
Some people may find that this takes getting used to, but for fans of fresh air it is paradise. Paradise also for beach sailors, kite surfers and other beach and water sports enthusiasts who need and enjoy a stiff breeze. Meanwhile, the historic island railway relies more on the steam power of its boiler. And that's more than adequate to carry the holiday visitors from the ferry landing stage to their accommodation, something it has been doing for decades. Aside from the sights to be seen on the island, the North Sea itself also offers many sights, and these are best seen from aboard a fishing boat.
