Treffpunkt Sonnenaufgang im Wattenmeer: Mit der MS „Jens Albrecht“ Gänsen auf der Spur

Most wild geese breed in the Arctic tundra of Siberia and come to northern Germany by the thousands to spend the winter. White-cheeked and ring-necked geese, in particular, are a common sight here during the winter months. During the day, we find them in meadows and fields. Where do they spend the night? We’ll set sail early in the morning aboard the MS “Jens Albrecht” and keep an eye out for the geese while enjoying a light breakfast on board. During the cruise, WAU’s bird experts will share fascinating facts about the migration of these feathered friends. We look forward to an atmospheric and impressive adventure boat tour and hope for a beautiful sunrise over the autumnal North Sea.

Organizers: Wangerland National Park House, Wangerländer Seetouristik, and the Scientific Working Group for Nature and Environmental Conservation e. V. (WAU)
