      The Langwarder Groden between Fedderwardersiel and Langwarden is the best place for bird watching in Butjadingen. A 4 km long circular hiking trail and a 2 km long nature discovery trail offer a special kind of nature experience. The constant change between low and high tide can be particularly well viewed from several observation stands, footbridges and a bridge that leads to the foreshore. You can find out more about nature and the landscape on numerous information boards. Interactive models invite you to discover this interesting habitat.

      The “Nature Experience Langwarder Groden” measure created an attractive opportunity to experience nature that is unique in Germany and on the North Sea: via a circular hiking trail that leads directly into the area of the measure, you can see the creation of a new salt marsh, the associated flora and fauna and the permanent Experience the change of ebb and flow directly.

      A boardwalk leads directly into 70 hectares of salt marsh development area, providing fascinating insights into the flora and fauna of the Wadden Sea. An approx. 35 m long wooden bridge leads over the extended Sieltief. Experience the elemental power and dynamics of the tides up close, especially at higher tides (source: butjadingen.de/erleben-entdecken/poi/natur-erleben-langwarder-groden).

        The Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site is considered a hub for bird migration and the most important wetland for birds in Europe. From a bird watching hut on the edge of the salt marsh development zone, you have the best visibility and a high probability of observing countless wading and migratory birds. Numerous information boards and installed binoculars help with the clear identification of avocets, shelducks and the like.

        The National Park House Museum Fedderwardersiel regularly offers guided tours through the Langwarder Groden. Please refer to the current event program or the notices on site for the exact times (source: butjadingen.de/erleben-entdecken/poi/natur-erleben-langwarder-groden).

          A beautiful, signposted circular route (approx. 6km) through the salt marshes. The approach from the parking lot at the harbor in Fedderwardersiel is also signposted.

                  The sound of the wind, the cries of seagulls, the salty air, the tides – here, nature can still be nature.

                  The Langwarder Groden is an important nature and bird sanctuary on the northern tip of the Butjadingen peninsula and part of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park. The five-kilometer-long, barrier-free circular trail of the same name runs right through the Groden. It is particularly family-friendly and has been awarded the Kinderferienland certificate. In 2019, it was awarded the Quality Hiking Trail Hikable Germany certificate.

                    Sometimes across the sea, sometimes across the mudflats

                    The flat, well-signposted circular trail starts at the Fedderwardersiel cutter harbor. From the idyllic fishing harbor, it leads approximately 2.5 kilometers along the dike. You then walk along a boardwalk directly into the salt marshes and the salt marshes. The surroundings change here almost every minute.

                    Right at the beginning, the famous footbridge through the mudflats awaits you. With a bit of luck, you might spot seals on a small sandbank in front of the footbridge. Around two kilometers of the trail is designed as a nature discovery trail. At several barrier-free observation posts, footbridges, and a bridge, you will find numerous information panels and interactive models. These provide fascinating insights into the flora and fauna of this unique ecosystem. Along the banks of the creek and past green and flowering salt marshes, you will finally return to the Fedderwardersiel fishing harbor.

                      Unique habitat
                      Approximately 1,100 hectares of marshland and salt marshes in the Langwarder Groden are regularly flooded at high tide. But this wasn't always the case. In the past, the Groden was separated from the tides by a dike. Only in 2014 was the dike partially opened. This measure allows for regular flooding of the area, thus ensuring the survival of many native plant and animal species.

                      Today, the Groden has largely returned to its natural state. For example, the salt marshes are home to numerous seabirds, whose calls can be heard constantly. Rare bird species can also be observed here. Migratory birds use the Wadden Sea every year as a stopover on their long journeys.

                        In order not to endanger others and yourself - be sure to watch out for the flood!!! On Sunday 25.08.24 a family only managed to get back from the foreshore across the extremely flooded bridge with the help of the fire brigade!

                        Otherwise it is an absolute pleasure to walk here 🤩🥰
