If you are travelling by car, take the A7 from Hamburg and Flensburg-Harrislee to Dagebüll or travel via the A23 to Heide and the B5 to Dagebüll. A ferry service links the green island of Föhr to the mainland. You can leave your car in a secure car park/garage in Dagebüll (subject to a charge).

If you would prefer to take your car onto the island with you, please book a crossing with the ferry company Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei well in advance. Customers in Germany can either call them on 04667 - 94030 or book on their website, www.faehre.de. If you are based elsewhere, please send the ferry company an e-mail (info@faehre.de) or a fax on +49 (0)4681 80116 to make a booking. Ferry crossings operate regardless of the tides and take 45 minutes.

You can also fly to Föhr. Flights take 50 minutes from Hamburg. Alternatively, you can fly via Sylt from Rhine-Ruhr, Rhine-Main, Munich, Stuttgart and Berlin.
