Opis
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 ostrygojad, kulik wielki, biegus zmienny, ohar, mewa srebrzysta, śmieszka and krwawodziób.
In spring (March - May) this also includes szlamnik, biegus rdzawy, bernikla obrożna, kamusznik, sieweczka obrożna, skowronek, pliszka siwa, gęgawa and siewka złota.
Breeding birds include ostrygojad, sieweczka obrożna, śmieszka, szablodziób,krwawodziób and ohar.
During summer one can find rybitwa białoczelna, rybitwa rzeczna, rybitwa popielata,rybitwa czubata and biegus krzywodzioby, and in winter edredon and świstun.
With a little bit of luck, especially during autumn migration, sokół wędrowny, bielik, krogulec, myszołów and with a lot of luck uszatka błotna can be spotted.
Szczegóły
Dostęp
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.
