North Sea tourism: Hiking the Wadden Sea and coastal care

The Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, offers unique recreational opportunities such as hiking from Cuxhaven to the island of Neuwerk. This approximately ten-kilometer trek across the seabed during low tide allows visitors to experience the vast landscape, tidal creeks, and local wildlife like crabs and birds.

Travelers visiting the North Sea coast, including the island of Borkum, are advised to take precautions regarding local conditions. For pet owners, cleaning paws thoroughly after beach visits is recommended to prevent irritation from salt water and sand, as well as injuries from sharp mussel shells found in the sand.
