The “Riegstra” house in the North Sea spa town of Esens-Bensersiel, with its comfortable, very cozy, and extremely affordable vacation apartment, is situated in a very quiet yet central location with excellent access in all directions and to local amenities (for example, a discount grocery store is just a 1-minute walk away). Our beautiful garden and the balcony of your charming apartment are at your disposal.
Our house is located on the northeastern edge of the historic town center of Esens. In one direction, it’s a five-minute walk to downtown Esens with all the amenities you’d expect to find there.
We’d be happy to tell you about all the interesting places to visit in our cozy and charming “Bear Town,” which is over 475 years old and boasts a historic town center. For example, there are plenty of events—both big and small—and museums right here. Or you can simply enjoy some real peace and quiet right here in and around our house.
Heading in the other direction, you can leave Esens and, for example, bike right through the idyllic marshlands—and perhaps even along the “Benser Tief”—to Bensersiel (What is a “Tief”? Want to know more? Click here on this sentence!). This way, you’ll reach the beach at a leisurely pace and feeling refreshed.
Of course, you can also get there by car in just a few minutes, but by bike—depending on your route—you’ll reach the sea and Bensersiel after 4 to 5 kilometers in a state of complete relaxation, having already breathed in plenty of healthy sea air, and you’ll be able to enjoy the beach and the many tourist, spa, and vacation facilities to the fullest.
Our location is ideal for long walks, bike rides, and explorations of East Frisia’s unique natural landscape. This way, you can experience your North Sea vacation in an active yet relaxed way and make the most of the North Sea’s invigorating climate.
By car, you can reach Bensersiel or the North Sea spa town of Neuharlingersiel in 5 to 10 minutes. You can also easily reach both towns by bus.
The North Sea spa town of Esens-Bensersiel has plenty to offer for relaxation, sports, and recreation—for example, beaches with playgrounds and beach chairs, swimming pools, tennis courts, surfing spots along the dike, fitness facilities, beach volleyball, fishing opportunities, and much more.
Soak up the sun or explore the beautiful surroundings and the vast expanse of East Frisia by bike. In Bensersiel, visit the “Sonneninsel” North Sea Thermal Baths, a modern, heated water park featuring North Sea water. All spa facilities, as well as a modern wellness, sauna, and fitness center, are also located there. Or head to the beach to check out the new beach complex featuring “Bennis Abenteuerland”—a covered beach area for children—as well as the maritime sports theme park with a circus tent and the seawater wave pool with a giant water slide. Go for a walk along the dike or in the Wadden Sea.
Take day trips to the East Frisian Islands and visit numerous old mills, museums, exhibitions, and other cultural highlights. Or take your children to Werdum to visit the petting zoo, which features many small animals from all over the world. Or take a trip to Neuharlingersiel. Among other attractions in this North Sea spa town, you’ll find the historic fishing harbor with its active fleet of crab boats and “Platschi,” the fantastic water play area right in the middle of the beach.
Our North Sea spa town also has plenty to offer for your health: wellness courses, fitness, and exercise classes at the Vital-Aktiv-Center; or treat yourself to a beauty day and let yourself be thoroughly pampered.
We offer plenty of pure vacation fun and relaxation.
