Mudflat hiking on Terschelling: Discover the magic of the Wadden Sea

Would you like to experience Terschelling in a unique way? Go mudflat hiking! Walking across the seabed, you will discover a fascinating nature reserve full of surprises. Stroll through the mud, breathe in the fresh sea air and experience the tranquillity of the vast Wadden Sea.

It is not just a walk, it is an adventure! During a trip across the dried-out Wadden Sea you will see crabs, shellfish and maybe even seals. Under the guidance of an experienced guide you will learn everything about the flora and fauna and how the Wadden Sea is constantly changing.  

There are various tours, from short introductory routes to challenging long tours where you plough through the mud up to your knees. Highly recommended for adventurers who are not afraid of getting a little dirty!  

What makes mudflat hiking so special is the connection with nature. The silence, the rustling of the wind and the infinite horizon give you a feeling of freedom that you will not find anywhere else. Whether you choose a morning walk at sunrise or an afternoon trip with a view of the island, every time is different.  

Mudflat walking on Terschelling is a magical experience that lets you experience nature in a completely new way!  

Good preparation is important. Wear sturdy shoes that can get wet and muddy and wear comfortable clothes that can take a beating. Don't forget to bring a backpack with water and a towel, so you can dry off afterwards and enjoy a well-deserved break.
