The sat nav or Google Maps will hardly find Wesselburenskoog. I assume it means Wesselburenerkoog 😉

Katinger Watt The Katinger Watt is a bird sanctuary covered with meadows and forests at the mouth of the Eider river. In the early 1970s, the area was dammed and thus protected from storm surges. The Katinger Watt now offers a unique habitat for plants and animals. Walking paths invite you to hike and experience nature.

The 13-kilometer path in the Katinger Watt in the municipality of Tönning (North Friesland district) is relatively easy to walk. Sometimes on top of the dyke with a view of the sea or along the tidal creek through meadows and forests. The route leads right through the nature reserve, where many species of birds feel very comfortable. The lapwing in particular has its home here. And if you are lucky, you will also see sea eagles and kingfishers.
