Tourist Attractions in Husum
Husum, situated on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein, in the Husumer Au, which serves as a natural harbor, is the cultural center of northern Friesland. After a storm tide in the 14th century, which brought about a change in the conformation of the land, Husum began to develop its own shipping trade. The birthplace of the poet and novelist Theodor Storm (1817-88), this "gray city by the sea" is featured in many of his stories.
