Beschrijving
This seaside promontory is on the eastern edge of the island of Pellworm, in the middle of the Nationalpark Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer. It jutts out into the shallow North Frisian sea and mudflats, and is crossed by many groynes and embankments. It's a great birding spot almost all-year-round, especially during migration times.
During high water throughout the year (except June), this is a major roosting area for Scholekster, Wulp, Bonte Strandloper, Bergeend, Zilvermeeuw, Kokmeeuw and Tureluur.
In spring (March - May) this also includes Rosse Grutto, Kanoet, Rotgans, Steenloper, Bontbekplevier, Veldleeuwerik, Witte Kwikstaart, Grauwe Gans and Goudplevier.
Breeding birds include Scholekster, Bontbekplevier, Kokmeeuw, Kluut,Tureluur and Bergeend.
During summer one can find Dwergstern, Visdief, Noordse Stern,Grote Stern and Krombekstrandloper, and in winter Eider and Smient.
With a little bit of luck, especially during autumn migration, Slechtvalk, Zeearend, Sperwer, Buizerd and with a lot of luck Velduil can be spotted.
Details
Toegang
The island of Pellworm is reachable by the SCH Pellworm ferry (marked 1 on the map) from the 'Nordstrand (b Husum)' port on the mainland to the east. It's a 35min journey.
The best way to explore the area is by bike or foot. The path from the lighthouse (marked 2 on the map) in the south to the old harbor (marked 3 on the map) to the north is about 4 km, so an hour walk non-stop or 15min bike ride. By car you can only drive along the inner dikes, so one must repeatedly get out of the car to cross over them. From on top of the dike, you can easily observe the area from above.
Important: The area is particularly interesting during high tide (+/- 2 hours)! See a link to the tide table below.
