The Wadden Sea: A Unique Habitat

Dry and exposed to the sun at low tide, wet and salty at high tide – the Wadden Sea along the North Sea coast is subject to the constant changing tides. Parts of this natural landscape are a World Heritage Site.

Several thousand square kilometers of the German and Dutch North Sea coasts are flooded and then dry again approximately every six hours. During low tide, all that remains of the sea are waterways, called tidal creeks, in the vast mudflats. The ability to wade through this area on foot gave the Wadden Sea its name, which is called "Waddenzee" in Dutch.

This unique landscape stretches along the North Sea coast from Den Helder in the Netherlands to Esbjerg in Denmark. In some places, the mudflats extend more than 20 kilometers offshore. The islands off the coast serve as natural breakwaters.

It was spotted for the first time in 2017 on the Wadden Sea and now it has permanently settled directly at the Kurhaus Dangast: the large metal flamingo by the Dangast sculptor Diedel Klöver. Last year Yard Art-Künstler created the sculpture especially for the Watt En Schlick festival. It consists of countless small scrap parts. (Facebook)

Green Statue on Dangast Pier

Highlight • Monument

At the small pier in Dangast, you can beautifully feel the changing tides. One moment you've jumped into the Jade Bay, and half an hour later it has vanished invisibly beneath the water's surface.

Dangast West Beach

Highlight • Beach

The western beach of Dangast is small but lovely and very cozy. At high tide, it almost disappears completely.

You can go for a walk in Dangast. If you like to stay here, you can use the beach when the tide is out, wandering. There are many ways to spend the day here.

Dangast Harbour

Highlight • Structure

Nice little port. Since the water was low, the many small and large boats were lying on the "dry land"

The sculpture "Kalle & Kalle" stands on the promenade at the Dangaster Geestcliff. Kalle Lind realized it in collaboration with Karlheinz Wichmann.
