WWF Mudflat and Island Excursion to Baltrum

The day tour with WWF begins with a three-hour mudflat hike from the mainland to the island – a great opportunity to see and learn why the Wadden Sea is so significant for migratory birds along the East Atlantic flyway. Upon arrival on the island, there will be a break with time to change clothes and have a picnic. The subsequent two-and-a-half-hour island hike leads to the wild east of Baltrum. Depending on the season, we will observe various resting and breeding birds such as oystercatchers, common terns, or barnacle and brent geese. Passing through reeds and dune landscapes, we will walk to the seemingly endless northern beach and back along it to the island village. We will return by ferry. With a bit of luck, we may spot eider ducks and seals along the way. Meeting point: Entrance to the salt marshes / to the birdwatching hut in the salt marshes of Neßmersiel; directly at the gate between the parking lot and the path.
