Experience the Wadden Sea all year round

The Wadden Sea National Park offers world-class nature experiences all year round. Millions of migratory birds, grey seals and spotted seals, oysters, black sun, an ever-changing landscape and huge areas of seabed that are laid dry twice a day.

How to be the best guest in nature

  • Use the many fantastic trails that show both nature and culture at their best - and at the same time avoid getting lost.
  • Respect that certain areas may be closed off during the birds' breeding season.
  • Do not drive on dykes, unless there is a path and a sign by the dyke.
  • Pick up the rubbish you find and take it with you – even if it's not yours.
  • Always remember that you are a guest in nature, and therefore do not disturb birds and animals.
  • Feel free to sink, but refrain from picking protected flowers and plants.
