Hiking in the National Park
When you are hiking, you can really get up close and personal with our unique and wild nature. Happily, we have a great variety of hiking trails offering quiet, reflection and huge amounts of sky.
We have put together a list of tips to help you have the most fantastic hike, while helping us protect our incredible nature:
- We stick to using the many wonderful and sign posted hiking trails. This ensures we have the best chances of observing wildlife and locals, all while not getting lost!
- We respect that some areas may be closed to access during breeding season.
- We avoid walking on dykes, unless there are sign posted trails. • We can forage for mushrooms and edible plants, but leave wild flowers and protected plants for others to enjoy as well.
- We avoid lighting open fires in areas with vegetation or places where fires have been banned – and enjoy our bonfire coffee at one of the many designated rest posts.
- We pick up any rubbish we find, even if it is not our own.
- We are guests in nature and strive to avoid disturbing birds and seals, who use up essential energy when taking flight or hauling out.
- We understand and respect that the Wadden Sea is ruled by wind and water, and therefore always ensure we have checked the weather conditions before setting out.
