The Wadden Sea

- Nature unrivalled

National park the Wadden Sea

The Wadden Sea is one of the world's most important tidal flats. A large, unique nature reserve full of life and experiences. The Wadden Sea is both the still surface water and the turbulent ocean.

Animal life

The Wadden Sea is full of life - in the air, in the shallow water, above and below the marshland surface. In no other place in Denmark is it possible to experience so many migrating birds, in the spring as well as the autumn. Every year, 10-12 million water birds migrate to or from their nesting places in the Wadden Sea. The Wadden Sea is also home to the largest population of the common seal in Denmark, just as the warm and shallow water is the natural breeding area for many of our most important fish species.



The 17th of January The Wadden Sea was appointed as a National park. National park from spring 2009.

   Man and the Wadden Sea

   Life by the Wadden Sea is, and
   has always been, on Mother
   Nature's premises. Violent
   storm floods have marked the
   population, who for protection,
   have built dikes along 100 km
   of the Wadden Sea coast.

   Visit the Wadden Sea Centre
   to learn more about the
   Wadden Sea's dynamic nature
   and particular culture.
