Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park
The Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park stretches along the North Sea coast between the Ems and Elbe rivers and protects one of the most dynamic landscapes on earth. Tides, wind and currents create a constantly changing world of mudflats, salt marshes, dunes and sandbanks. The area is a habitat for seals, gray seals, porpoises and millions of migratory birds that stop here on their long journeys. The Wadden Sea has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009 and is considered one of the most species-rich ecosystems in Europe.
In the summer months in particular, visitors can discover nature on guided mudflat walks. Where else can you explore the seabed with dry feet? Spring and fall are ideal for birdwatching, when migratory birds stop off on their way to their summer and winter quarters.
The national park houses and three visitor centers offer exciting insights into the interrelationships of life in the Wadden Sea.
