Katinger Watt Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The 13 km long circular walk through the "Katinger Watt" offers a beautiful hike. Lots of birds, trains and a very untypical forest area are to be discovered. The forest area at Katinger Watt is very untypical for the otherwise less wooded peninsula Eiderstedt. The forest was created only after construction of the Eider barrier from 1868 and is, certainly also due to the sandingen soil, quite light. The many water surfaces and Sielzüge offer unique image / photo opportunities. The inclusion of binoculars on the tour is highly recommended.
Beginning and end of the circular walk are in Katingersiel at the tavern Andresen, in which a stop is worthwhile.

Overgrown sunlit path through the forest and always along the Ringpriel along. From the observation hut you can watch birds on the water and on the opposite shore (eg kingfishers).

View of the Eider Barrage

Highlight • Monument

This impressive structure with its massive dykes provides reliable protection from the storm surges of the North Sea. On the land side, the wide Eider estuary extends as far as Tönning, and at low tide, mudflats are created that serve as a source of food for numerous bird species.
