As both a national park mudflat guide and partner, Jan Krüger has extensive knowledge and expertise in preserving the beauty and significance of the region.
For approximately one and a half to two hours, participants embark on a memorable journey through the varied terrain, often beginning with a stroll barefoot in warmer months or transitioning to wearing protective footwear when temperatures drop. Spring, autumn, and winter offer ideal conditions for exploring the mudflats, with rubber boots providing comfort and protection from the wetter environments. A visit to Sylt would be incomplete without witnessing the stunning views of the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its diverse flora and fauna.
Located within the heart of Schleswig-Holstein’s Wadden Sea National Park, which spans nearly 4,500 square kilometers, the area is teeming with life, including mussels, shore crabs, and brown shrimp. During the bird migration season (spring and autumn), millions of migratory birds rest and feed at the abundant resources found within the Wadden Sea. Visitors may also have the opportunity to observe various marine species, including seals and gray seals, as well as porpoises, creating a truly enchanting and unforgettable experience.
The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, further emphasizing its crucial role in preserving unique ecosystems. This designation serves as a testament to the exceptional biodiversity and ecological value of the region.
