Beschreibung
The Wadden Sea as National Park is known internationally as one of the most important resting habitats for birds, especially waders, on migration. The Jadebusen is a big bay, where the German Wadden Sea reaches one of its southernmost extension. The bay character gives the Jadebusen some features, that cannot be found at the open coastline. The Jadebusen-bay is a bit sheltered from big waves, what leads to the formation of very wide saltmarsh and saltmarsh meadows in front of the dike. this area is one of those really wide saltmarshes. Meadow breeding birds like the Rotschenkel, Bekassine and the Austernfischer, but also many Wiesenpieper can be observed during the breeding time. During Winter Berghänfling, Schneeammer, Strandpieper or geese like Weißwangengans and Ringelgans can be observed. A nice boardwalk allows the access to the saltmarsh, otherwise the view from the dike also gives a good overview.

Zugang
There are parking spots near Wilhelmshaven, Cäciliengroden and Dangast. The best way to explore the area is going by bike beside the dike. There is a bike-way at the landside of the dike over the whole distance. During the Summertime most of the way seaside of the dike is forbidden to bike due to disturbance to sheep. During biking, you can make small stops and go onto the dike.

Consider the tide, as the birds spread over the whole Jadebusen during low tide, but are pushed towards the coastline during high tide. So high tide is best! This area is part of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park.
