Unesco World Heritage Site the Wadden Sea is the last true nature of the Netherlands. This huge tidal area is important for millions of birds and fish. Wadlopen is a popular activity to discover this beautiful area. But it is important that birds are not disturbed in the process. When mudflats are too much of a blow, the birds have literally flown away. Therefore, always go out with a mudflat walking guide. They can tell you exactly how to walk and what is good for nature. There is also a code of honor with rules of conduct, which explains exactly how you can enjoy the mud flats while respecting nature.
Code of honor for mudflat lovers
