Butjadingen: Guided Mudflat Hike in the World Natural Heritage Site｜Germany

The tour takes us about 800 meters from Tossens beach into the mudflats – to a small tidal channel and sometimes even to an old boat wreck, which we affectionately call our "shipwreck." There is a lot to discover along the way: various mussels, the almost legendary lugworms, the fastest snail in the world, and also beach crabs, which like to spend the summer near the beach in the warm mudflats.
We test different types of soil under our feet, and if you are brave, you can even sink in really deep! Together, we ask exciting questions: Where does all the water go at low tide? And what's the deal with the tides? Together, we will solve this riddle!
You will be accompanied by experienced mudflat and national park guides who will explain everything to you and will be happy to answer your questions.
The tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours and ends back at Tossens beach. In summer, you can easily walk in socks, and in November to April, in boots.
The mudflat in Tossens is mostly solid. Therefore, the route is easy to walk.
