The coast off Schobüll has a largely natural transition from the Hohe Geest to the Wadden Sea with a weak beach wall system. It is the only undeicht section on the entire west coast of Schleswig-Holstein. In front of the former open geest coast with a sandy beach and small dunes, a largely naturally formed salt marsh can be found today, which is largely unused and left to the natural dynamics of the Wadden Sea. http://ag-geobotanik.de/Kieler_Notizen/KN_3/KN39_040-053_(2013)_Stock_Schobueller_ beach.pdf

Drifts, which can now include plastic and other rubbish from ships, boats or holidaymakers on the coast, is not driven off Husum or Schobüll, but unfortunately everywhere on the coast.
