Salt Marshes of the Wadden Sea
Highlight • Natural
Finally at the Wadden Sea – the dike is climbed with anticipation. The first glimpse of the North Sea is an unforgettable experience on any vacation. But a real surprise awaits many visitors who enjoy this view for the first time: expansive, colorful meadows lie between the dike and the mudflats. And these meadows are something very special. Their name: salt marshes. Their special feature: Depending on their altitude, they are flooded more or less regularly by the North Sea's seawater.
Salt marshes form the so-called silting zone of the North Sea. This is where the water meets the land. The regular flooding and the high salinity of the seawater require true plant specialists. They have adapted to the conditions in the salt marshes and, together with around 400 animal species, form a unique habitat.

The DECK — Norddeich's new promenade
Highlight • Beach
New stairs and sea terraces: As part of the redesign, four new sea terraces have been created, offering direct and convenient access to the Wadden Sea via 14 steps.
Accessibility: In addition to the stairs, there are wide ramp systems, for example at the Haus des Gastes, which facilitate crossing the dike and accessing the beach for all visitors.
Stainless steel handrails: New stainless steel handrails have been installed to assist with entering and exiting the water.
"Das Deck": The entire redesign of the promenade, referred to as "Das Deck", was officially opened in July 2022 and features a modern structure made of sand-colored asphalt, new lighting via concrete cubes, and stainless steel showers.
