Salt Marshes - Silting Zone of the North Sea
Finally at the Wadden Sea – the dike is climbed with anticipation. The first glimpse of the North Sea is an unforgettable experience on any vacation. But a real surprise awaits many visitors who enjoy this view for the first time: expansive, colorful meadows lie between the dike and the mudflats. And these meadows are something very special. Their name: salt marshes. Their special feature: Depending on their altitude, they are flooded more or less regularly by the North Sea's seawater.

Salt marshes form the so-called silting zone of the North Sea. This is where the water meets the land. The regular flooding and the high salinity of the seawater require true plant specialists. They have adapted to the conditions in the salt marshes and, together with around 400 animal species, form a unique habitat.

Salt marsh
Salt marshes, also known regionally as Heller, Inge or Groden, are stands of herbaceous plants that are periodically or irregularly flooded by the sea. They form the natural transition and biological boundary between land and sea.
