Beschrijving
At Harlesiel and Elisabethgroden the areas outside the dike are particularly worth watching all year round. Due to the extensive salt marsh, the Wadden Sea is too far away to clearly see the birds there, but there are several pools/gullies outside the dike. Large groups of Kluut and Lepelaar rest there between late summer and autumn. All four species of harriers (Bruine Kiekendief, Blauwe Kiekendief, Grauwe Kiekendief and Steppekiekendief) can be found in the salt marshes in summer. Large resting groups of geese and Kievit as well as Goudplevier can be found on the agricultural lands inside the dikes, especially in autumn and winter.

Toegang
Harlesiel and Elisabethgroden can ideally be cycled. Alternatively, you can drive along the dike and observe the agricultural lands from the car and stop at two positions on the dike and walk from there to observe the salt marsh and the pools. Click on a P in the map for directions.
