Description
The Wadden Sea is one of the most important wetlands for wading and waterfowl in the world. Birds are attracted by the great abundance of food in the Wadden Sea. Over the course of a year, 10-12 million wading birds and waterfowl visit the Wadden Sea every year. Tümlauer Bucht is a large salt marsh area with offshore sandbanks and mudflats. Due to its diversity, it is a habitat for many different bird species. From March - May there are many Apácalúd and Örvös lúd and also Fenyérfutó on the sandbank. From May - July: Széki lile, Kis csér, Küszvágó csér and Kenti csér. From July - mid-September flocks of Sarki partfutó and Havasi partfutó and many heringsirály. From October - March: Apácalúd, havasi fülespacsirta, Kenderike and Hósármány.

Access
Despite its location between two popular beaches that are intensively used by tourists, and the popular destination of the Westerhever lighthouse, the Tümlauer Bucht is rarely visited by most tourists. To get away from the tourist hustle and bustle you can park at the Tümlauer Hafen (harbor) and explore the area on foot from there.
