The
ferry trip to Langeoog takes about 45
minutes and costs EUR 23 each, round trip. On weekends, many of those on board will be
people from the surrounding region making day or overnight trips to the
beach. With hotel lodging starting at EUR 40 per person, a weekend
getaway for two would run EUR 120 and up plus meals. A week in an
apartment in the high season for two or perhaps more is around EUR 400.
Departure for
Langeoog is
from Bensersiel, pictured below, near the East Friesian city of Esens
(map). The
ferry trip is pleasant enough, with beer and soft drinks in vending
machines and hot dogs at a service counter.
