5. The Tides
The tides are the constant switching
between high water (flood) and low water (low
tide).
Twice a day the North Sea is flooded. This is
due to the force of attraction between the
Earth and the Moon. This
phenomenon happens all over
the world, but in the North Sea, there it is most
recognizable.

6. The Mud-flats
What are the Mud-flats?
You can enter the Mud-flats at low tides.
The Mud-flats are deposited sediments. There
are three types of sediments.
There are many creeks in which
water runs.

great experience
of nature between

do it every
day depending on
the tides.

8. Mud hiking II
There are many ways of hiking
for example to
Neuwerk (a small
island) where you can also go
byhorse-drawn carriages.
Dangers:
Before you leave you
should check the time of the
tides. While hiking you should
have the limited time of
hiking in mind.
If you are lucky you can
see many animals such
as crabs, and lugworms.

9. Watersports
The North Sea is also a popular
destination for water sports. It attracts a lot
of kiters and windsurfers,

low tides and it is often very windy.
