Uninhabited Dutch islands

Beside all the bare sandbanks and mud flats in the Dutch Wadden Sea, there are also uninhabited islands. That is to say, sandbanks which lie so high that the highest part remains dry throughout the year and are permanently overgrown with plants. Consecutively from west to east, they are Griend, Rottumerplaat and Rottumeroog.
