Auf Schatzsuche an der Nordseeküste

Excursion to St. Peter‐Ording: Treasure‐seeking at the North Sea coast After westerly gales, there is a good chance to find amber at the North Sea beach of St. Peter‐Ording, located on the pensinsula Eiderstedt in the German state Schleswig‐Holstein. Depending on weather conditions and the time of the year, a great variety of marine animals and their remains are washed on to the sandy beaches (12 kilometers long). The coastal landscape of this location also contains tidal flat, salt marshes and dunes. It is very similar to the landscape of the barrier islands such as Sylt and Amrum because of the related post‐glacial history of origin. Especially the highly near‐natural salt marshes and some areas of the dunes show a very interesting vegetation with many endangered plant species.
