A breath of fresh air in tried and tested sails
We are the brothers Julius and Jasper Brütt and we are the third generation to run the Wattenlöper campsite. Having grown up with the North Sea and tourism, we combine family tradition with modern camping approaches. Our campsite has almost 200 pitches and, for the past three years, we have also had a self-built tiny house. We have been passionate campers for as long as we can remember and we try to give all our holidaymakers a special holiday experience. As a family business, we create a friendly and cosy atmosphere on the site every day and we are always happy to welcome new and familiar faces to the Wattenlöper.
Wattenlöper – a Cuxhaven original
A campsite with tradition: the name ‘Wattenlöper’ comes from the Low German and means ‘mudflat walker’. The name fits perfectly with Christian Brütt, who lived in Duhnen from 1853 to 1928 and has always shaped the motif of our campsite.
Christian Brütt was a dyed-in-the-wool sea and mudflat fanatic – a true northerner, so to speak. In 1880, he was granted the exclusive right to bring the post to the island of Neuwerk. At first he did it on foot, but later he became a pioneer of mudflat wagons. He not only brought letters, but also the first guests to the island, thus starting a long tradition of tourism in the family. A ride on the mudflat wagon to the island of Neuwerk is still a real highlight today and should definitely be on your to-do list.
Christian Brütt was a true pioneer of tourism in Duhnen and Cuxhaven. As a foreman of the lifeboat, he also took care of safety at sea and saved 45 shipwrecked people from drowning. To pay tribute to this extraordinary man, his striking face still adorns the logo of the ‘Wattenlöper’ campsite today.
