Experience the Wadden Sea for yourself
Arriving on Ameland, you can experience the Wadden Sea World Heritage up close from the island.
You can look into the Wadden Sea yourself from the Wadden dike World Heritage Site. At low tide, you will see channels, mudflats, piers and huge numbers of shorebirds.
If you have binoculars, it is definitely worth taking them. From the dike, you can see large groups of birds on the mudflats.
