Description
Embark on a guided mudflat hike across the enchanting mudflats of Sylt, an iconic island in northern Germany’s Wadden Sea National Park. Led by experienced local guide Jan Krüger, who was born and raised in Westerland, this tour offers an authentic journey into the heart of Sylt’s unique coastal ecosystem.
The adventure begins at a designated meeting point on Sylt and lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on weather and tidal conditions. In warmer months, guests are encouraged to experience the mud between their toes by going barefoot, while rubber boots are recommended during cooler seasons for comfort and protection.
As you traverse the expansive mudflats, Jan shares his deep knowledge of the region’s ecology and wildlife. You’ll discover thriving populations of mussels, shore crabs, and brown shrimp, and learn about the millions of migratory birds that visit the Wadden Sea each spring and autumn on their migratory routes.
The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, is home to seals, gray seals, and even porpoises. With Jan as your guide, every step is an opportunity to witness nature’s wonders and understand the importance of preserving this vital ecosystem.
