Tidal-creek-hiking
Tidal creeks and channels are also called deep, hole and sea inlet. They connect the Wadden Sea with the open sea. At high tide, seawater flows through the tidal streams into the mudflats; at low tide, it flows back out to sea. We will show you two tidal streams, the Sahlenburg Loch and the Duhner Loch, and explain their constant changes and shifts, how a new stream is formed, why it is impossible to cross a tidal stream at every low tide, and how dangerous it can be to try. Sometimes you can find small pieces of amber at the edges of the tidal creeks. Duration 2.5 to 3 hours ( children aged 8 and over ). We offer this Tidal creek hike in Sahlenburg.

What do you need for this mudflat hike ?

We will be walking over sharp-edged oysters and gaping sand shells. Flip-flops, Crocs, and beach shoes are completely unsuitable, as are rubber boots, since these are not high enough to cross the tidal streams and will fill with water.
