Schleswig-Holstein

Schleswig-Holstein offers several ways to experience the Wadden Sea landscape: walks along dykes, salt marshes and beaches, guided mudflat excursions, and visits to the Halligen. The best choice depends on your available time, the tide and the kind of terrain you want to understand.
