Descrizione

The Rif is a wide salt marsh and sandbank that has grown together on the southwest side of the island of Schiermonnikoog. Thanks to the height of the salt marsh, it is a safe refuge during high tides in the Wadden Sea. Thousands of birds come to rest there. But the reef is also an important breeding area for many birds. During the breeding season (from May to August) the area is not accessible so that the birds get enough rest. But even then you can still have a beautiful view of The Rif from the path that runs along the edge of the salt marsh, between the lake Westerplas and the beach of Westerstrand.

_________________________

Nederlands: Het Rif is een brede kwelder en zandplaat die is vastgegroeid aan de zuidwestkant van eiland Schiermonnikoog. Dankzij de hoogte van de kwelder is het een veilig toevluchtsoord tijdens hoogwater op de Waddenzee. Duizenden vogels komen er dan rusten. Maar het rif is ook een belangrijk broedgebied voor veel vogels. Tijdens het broedseizoen (van mei tot augustus) is het gebied niet toegankelijk zodat de vogels genoeg rust krijgen. Maar ook dan kun je Het Rif nog mooi overzien vanaf het pad dat aan de rand van de kwelder loopt, tussen de Westerplas en het Westerstrand.
