Schleswig-Holstein

The wadden coast of Schleswig-Holstein lies between the mouth of the Elbe and the Danish border. The uninhabited bird island Trischen lies in an open, flat wadden region. North of the peninsula Eiderstedt, there is a row of sandbanks and islands Amrum and Sylt, followed by the Halligen, Pellworm and Föhr. The two regions Dithmarschen and Nordfriesland are on the mainland coast. The outer dike region and the uninhabited parts of the islands form a National Park and are part of the Wadden Sea World Heritage.
