Sehestedt Salt Marsh Trail

Highlight • Trail

The salt marsh path near Sehestedt is worthwhile at any time of the year. It is particularly interesting about 2 hours before high tide, when the birds come closer to land.

March 17, 2023,Salzwiesen - Schwimmendes Moor - Sehestedt

I've been to the North Sea 🦭 for the long weekend. The morning walking tour around the floating moor 🌊
started in glorious sunshine 🌤 From the dike you already have a wonderful view. At the adventure station there was currently only an empty parking lot and a 🛝 playground 🤷🏼‍♀️ that was still ready for winter. I walked the …

The remaining raised bog in front of the North Sea coastal dike near Sehestedt is unique in the world. When extreme storm surges occur, the more than 3-meter-thick "moor island" begins to float, hence the term "floating bog." A 150-meter-long boardwalk leads into it. Of course, you can't see that something is sometimes floating here.

The floating moor is a unique natural monument that rises and falls with the tide. Around the moor runs an approximately 5 km long salt marsh path with many birds and plants.

During a bike tour on the Jade Bay last year, we passed the salt marsh path near Sehestedt and decided to explore it on foot. As the day was promising with sunshine, this plan was now put into practice.
The salt marshes near Sehestedt have a special feature that is unique to the Jade Bay: here, in front of the …

Hey,
After a week of bed rest, I wanted to take it easy. One of my favorite places is nearby and not too long. Sehestedt was a perfect fit. Especially since this floating moor, unique in the world, is attractive in every season. Almost deserted, we set off heavily wrapped up in crisp 4 degrees Celsius, although parts of it …

It was a mud fight again. There was a lot of water in the meadows and the paths were very slippery because of the mud.
As it was low tide, I could only see most of the birds in the distance. But I did manage to get a few of them in front of my lens. Access to the observation …

When the moor starts to swim ... lifts & parts of it break off ... that must be impressive 😳 ... and the phenomenon is due to a change in the landscape that was made by humans a few centuries ago ⁉️🧐💭

Advertised as an adventure trail. And that's exactly what it was. Despite the low tide, the paths were muddy (it was November, after all) and only passable with waterproof hiking boots or wellies. But it was really fun. The photos might make you think it's sunset. Nope, it was midday 😀
