Tillgänglighet
The best vantage points for birdwatching are the road to Meldorfer Hafen (there is an observation tower just off the road), the sea dyke and the observation-hides in the nature sanctuaries of „Kronenloch“ in the north and „Wöhrdener Loch“ in the south.
Next to the protection areas you can park your car, make walks or go by bike. You can observe directly out of the car and mostly that's the best way because that way shy birds don't fly away and stay close to you.
