A fascinating part of Lower Saxony, the East Frisian islands are a world unto themselves. Tucked between coastal wetlands and the vast expanse of the North Sea, Langeoog has emerged as a particular favourite, known for its wonderfully pure air and beautiful landscapes. Proudly car-free, the island is ideal for those looking to slow down and immerse themselves in the magic of the great outdoors. This low-key, easygoing feel is reflected in many of the best places to stay in Langeoog, too, which tend to be intimate, characterful and family-run.
