Description
A hike on the Trischendamm in Friedrichskoog-Spitze is great for watching birds. The 2.2 km long damm leads you dry-footed along salt marshes and mudflats. The dam allows a good overview of the area at all times. In May you can observe are large flocks of Red Knot, Dunlin, Bar-tailed Godwit and Sanderling. Many other waders like Common Ringed Plover, Eurasian Oystercatcher, Eurasian Curlew and Common Redshank can be found. Also Eurasian Spoonbill can often be spotted. From July to August tens of thousands of moulting Common Shelduck are off the coast (good observation conditions early in the morning at high tide). Depending on the tides (see a link to the tides table below) all year round interesting birds can turn up here.
