Welcome to bird watching at the Südstrandpolder! The Südstrandpolder is of artificial origin: construction of a military airport began here in 1940, but was never completed, with the exception of the dike. Instead, a diverse landscape developed from the former mudflats. Today, the polder is home to extensive bushes and wet heaths, as well as the largest reed beds on the East Frisian Islands. These reed beds and the pond system created in 1988 are home to many species of birds that breed, feed and rest here.

Note: If it rains, you can stay there. However, there is no bench to sit on in the tepee house.

The new hut has now been built. It is very attractively designed: brighter and airier than the previous hut.

In the observation hut, NABU has installed various swallows' nests and suddenly the nimble sailors are whizzing through the hut. For the observations (outside) binoculars are definitely worth it! There is a small donation box at the entrance and exit.
