mud flat walking in the North Sea
You can feel the enormous forces of wind and water in the Wadden Sea all year round. While only water can be seen at high tide, a whole new landscape is revealed at low tide. The tides dry the seabed every six hours, ideal for hikers and nature lovers to explore! You can explore on foot far into the shimmering tidal area, sometimes even as far as the North Sea islands off the coast.
UNESCO World Heritage
In the mudflats you have a unique view of the mainland, the East Frisian islands, the sea and nature. Discover the more than 10,000 plant and animal species that are typical for the Wadden Sea. The Wadden Sea is a unique natural landscape and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009!
There are numerous tours in the Wadden Sea in Lower Saxony: in addition to coastal walks, there are also walks from the mainland to the East Frisian Islands. For example, walk from Nessmersiel to Baltrum, a trip of 2.5 hours. Tip: make your holiday even more unique by choosing a special accommodation. For example, spend the night on the beach in one of the beach baskets!
