General presentation
Lower Saxony Wadden Sea
Cote de pondes, vasières UNESCO, ports, dikes, lighthouses, birds and excursions to the islands.
To understand what Sea of the Wadden of Lower Saxony is, look at Nationalpark Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer, Cuxhaven and Wilhelmshaven. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the coastline and natural spaces and allow you to pass from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. To anticipate also: pondes to respect and strong wind. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Heligoland
Heligoland divides with the low islands of the Wadden Sea by its red cliffs, seabirds and isolation in the North Sea. The crossing conditions the visit: when the wind falls, the cliff trails and the Lange Anna rock offer a steeper landscape than that of the nearby mudflats.
Place
Cuxhaven
Cuxhaven is understood by the juxtaposition of docks, alleys and marine horizons, more than by means of a unique narrative. The right time is when you can alternate photo stop, observe local usages and walk along the waterfront to feel the dynamics of the places.
Place
Wilhelmshaven
In Wilhelmshaven, the relationship between port infrastructure and urban areas creates a very characteristic atmosphere of the Wadden Sea. The traveller who slows down his journey discovers finer lines of view, especially when the passage decreases and the light structures more space.
Place
Neuharlingersiel
Neuharlingersiel surprises with his frontal reading of the coast: banks, docks, fishing alleys and small squares form a living map. It's a stopover that makes sense early in the morning or late in the day, when the shades of sky make the site more readable.
