Very impressive start from the Eider barrage and then into the Katinger Wadden Sea 👍 An indescribable natural landscape!

November 1st. The winter season has started. The excursion boats no longer operate, the bike rental shop is closed and the migratory birds have been around for a long time. It's quiet in the Katinger Watt. Not getting a bird 🦅 in front of the lens 😞

December 30, 2023,Wo Rehe über Wasser laufen können 😅 - WWF Tour Katinger Watt: Wandern zwischen Wald und Watt

Not exactly the right one
Time of year for this tour and especially not after days of constant rain...
Twice I almost left my shoe behind in the mud 😂

Unfortunately, the end of the tour was also very "long-winded", as it took over an hour below the newly built reinforcement dike along the road, which was still closed.

Nice round in the nature reserve with a lot of nature and beautiful views.
It's worth it for humans and 🐕
As a reward, there were waffles with ice cream in a rustic coffee ☕️
I can only recommend 👍
