Tidal creek hike
Tidal streams 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. The tour lasts 2.5 to 3 hours and is suitable for children aged 8 and up. We offer this Tidal creek hike in Sahlenburg.

What do you need for this mudflat hike ?
- For this hike, you will need sturdy footwear, such as sneakers, light hiking boots, neoprene shoes, or water shoes with socks and thick, firm soles. 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.
- Shorts, running pants or trekking pants, and possibly thin rainwear.
- Hat, sun hat, caps ( sunglasses ) and sunscreen.
