Wadden Sea near Zurich - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Zurich
The stretch of Wadden Sea that faces the little village of Zurich nestled at the foot of the dike is the largest UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands. Twice a day the tide laps against the dike and twice a day it goes a long way out.
The stretch of Wadden Sea that faces the little village of Zurich nestled at the foot of the dike is the largest UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands.
Twice a day the tide laps against the dike and twice a day it goes a long way out. This is when the birds feed, pulling worms, crabs, shrimps and insects from the muddy seabed with their long beaks. The height of the dike makes it one of the best places from which to observe this spectacle. You hear the birds calling to each other, smell the salt of the sea and feel the dynamic interplay of water and wind. Settle in and enjoy the show. Six hours from now, the wondrous Wadden Sea panorama at your feet will look very different.
