Brief description
For a long time, the Wadden Sea has exerted a great attraction on vacationers from all regions of Europe. Due to the rhythmic change of high and low tide, one has the unique opportunity here to walk more or less dry-footed over the seabed and at certain times of the day to hike to islands that can only be reached by ship at high tide. The book provides a wide range of information on the Wadden Sea habitat, especially for those tourists who want to "venture" onto the seabed at low tide. In addition, it is an ideal source of information on this habitat, which is unique in the world, for all vacationers on the German North Sea coast

In addition to interesting facts, e.g. on the formation of the tidal flats, on the different types of tidal flats, on typical animals and plants of the tidal flats, on the Halligen and islands, a separate chapter deals with the three German national parks in the Wadden Sea. Another part deals with the Wadden Sea as a World Heritage Site. A large part of the book is devoted to the description of individual hiking possibilities through the Wadden Sea, including dangers for hikers and threats to the habitat by tourists.
