如果你认为海岸线只是陆地与海洋交汇的一条线,石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因瓦登海国家公园就在这里改变你的想法。这个位于德国北海沿岸的联合国教科文组织世界遗产地是潮汐每天两次重新绘制景观的地方。当潮汐退去时,它会暴露出巨大的泥滩,形成一个不断变化的地形,这是一个令人难以置信的生态系统的家园。它占地4410平方公里,也是德国最大的国家公园。这是一个迁徙鸟类的天堂,如捕鸟人、红节、海豹和在流沙中茁壮成长的微小生物。体验公园的最佳方式之一是泥滩徒步旅行。导游可以让你穿过海底,在柔软的地面上挤来挤去,同时了解脚下的生物。

If you think a coastline is just a line where land meets sea, the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park is here to change your mind. This UNESCO World Heritage Site along Germany's North Sea coast is a place where the tides redraw the landscape twice a day. When the tide retreats, it exposes vast mudflats, creating an ever-changing terrain that's home to an incredible ecosystem. With an area of 4,410 square kilometres, it is also the largest national park in Germany. It's a paradise for migratory birds like oystercatchers and red knots, seals and tiny creatures that thrive in the shifting sands. One of the best ways to experience the park is mudflat hiking. Guided tours let you walk across the seabed, squishing through the soft ground while learning about the creatures beneath your feet.
