Wetlands & Bird Watching
Explore the diverse coastal ecosystems of the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage site spanning the Netherlands and Germany. This selection highlights critical habitats including the 6,000-hectare Balgzand mudflats and the salt marshes of Flinthörn on Langeoog. These sites serve as essential high-tide refuges and breeding grounds for migratory birds. From the industrial-adjacent wetlands of the Ems estuary to dedicated observation points on Ameland, these locations provide specific vantage points for studying avian behavior and tidal landscapes.
