In the Frisian Sea, in Dutch de Wadden', you can still sail to islands that gradually emerge from the horizon. At low tide you can walk on the sands, at high tide, the area is a beautifully protected sea with much to admire. A paradise for water lovers. Leaving the IJsselmeer, one reaches nature in the Wadden in Den Oever or Kornwerderzand. There, the water foams differently, it smells salty and the tides run. In previous centuries, rich trading vessels sailed to the Zuider Zee via the Texelstrom and Vliestrom. Amsterdam financed the buoys, beacons and lights, such the lighthouses of Urk, de Ven and Vlieland, and the famous Brandaris tower, built in 1596 after the former one sank in the sea. There was a sea shipping-intelligence service of Vlieland. Messages went via the "Posthuis" (at that time, the post office of Vlieland) to Texel and continued via Huisduinen to Amsterdam. .

The most beautiful aspect of the Wadden is the extensive salt meadows and mud flats, where an incredible diversity of birds flies in and out foraging, breading and twittering. All kinds of seagulls, terns, eider ducks, oyster-catchers, curlew, avocet, spoonbill, and even a few flamingos, provide a 24 hours a day fascinating scene. Channels and gullies of various size flood the mud flats twice a day providing nutrients and silt.



Continuous movement, birds twittering, beauty. When drying on the sands, your hotel stands in the middle of the rough emptiness of the Dutch largest and most beautiful landscape.
