Hiking
Wadden Sea off the North Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein between the Elbe estuary in the south and the Danish border in the north. The area is 4,380 square kilometers. The islands of Sylt, Amrum, Föhr, and Pellworm, as well as the 5 larger inhabited Halligen, are not part of the National Park.
The Wadden Sea was formed 10,000 years ago after the last Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the water level rose. Organic and inorganic sediments were deposited in the shallow coastal regions. This created the fine-grained mudflats and the coarser sandflats.
