The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park is one of 16 national parks in Germany and the largest between the North Cape and Sicily.

Profile Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park

Founded: On October 1, 1985 by the National Park Act of July 22, 1985. On December 17, 1999, the Schleswig-Holstein State Parliament passed a new National Park Act, which came into force on January 1, 2000.

Location and size: Wadden Sea off the North Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein between the mouth of the Elbe 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 and inhabited Hallig islands are not part of the national park.

Formation: The Wadden Sea was formed after the most recent ice age 10,000 years ago. As the glaciers melted, the water level rose. Organic and inorganic sediments were deposited in the flat coastal regions. This is how the fine-grained mud flats and the coarser sand flats came about.

Zoning: The national park is divided into two protection zones. According to the National Park Act, everything that could damage nature or the animals and plants in the National Park is prohibited. Zone 1 is reserved for the undisturbed development of nature and, unlike zone 2, may not be entered. Exceptions are possible in the coastal area and in the case of guided mudflat hikes on defined routes. Only the 125 km² "free area" between the islands of Sylt and Föhr should remain completely untouched. Zone 2 includes the whale sanctuary that was set up west of the islands of Sylt and Amrum to protect small whales and seabirds.
