Mudflat Hiking on Juist

The Wadden Sea sets the pace on the island. Only when the water level is high enough can the ferry reach Juist - only then will the mail, guests like you and our food arrive.

The Wadden Sea is a very special place. Multifaceted and full of surprises, the Wadden Sea welcomes you to Juist. Discover this unique landscape during a guided hike. As an official partner of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park, the island community (i.e. the people writing for you here) simply have to recommend a mudflat hike to you! During a mudflat hike on Juist you will walk with rubber boots or barefoot through the varied Juist mudflats. You will learn everything about flora and fauna in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Anyone who has been to Juist more often knows him: Heino Behring, who knows the mudflats like the back of his hand, and not just since yesterday. As a mudflat expert and mudflat guide of the special class, Heino leads groups through the Juist Wadden Sea and brings them closer to this very special habitat. A mudflat hike is a real experience.
