One of the most beautiful nature reserves in our country begins in Den Helder: the Wadden Sea. This special ecosystem with mud flats and sand flats, oyster beds, salt marshes and beaches extends all the way to the north of Denmark and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. With an area of 10,000 square kilometers, the entire Wadden area is the largest intertidal area in the world.

Do you want to discover the Wadden Sea? That can be done in different ways.

Go mudflat hiking with a guide or participate in sport fishing on a cutter. In Den Helder we have it all. Find out what kind of migratory birds the mudflats are rich or spot seals that are relaxing on a sandbank.

Fun for young and old!
