The Wadden Sea of the southern North Sea is unique because it is a large, contiguous, and relatively "young" landscape. There is nothing else like it. The tidal area with islands, Halligen, and salt marshes between the Dutch municipality of Den Helder and the Danish peninsula of Skallingen near Esbjerg is the largest contiguous Wadden Sea in the world. This book invites you to discover and experience the Wadden Sea in its diversity. From background information on the UNESCO World Heritage site to the fauna and flora, as well as the peculiarities of the tides, and ideas for excursions along with breathtaking photographs, the author Günter Pump provides everything you need to know about the Wadden Sea at a glance.
