Baltrum

Baltrum lies between the Wadden Sea and the open North Sea in Lower Saxony, and its tidal setting has shaped a compact island community linked to the mainland by ferry. One of the East Frisian Islands, it sits within the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park, part of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea. Broad sandy beaches face the sea, while mudflats and salt-marsh habitats spread along the sheltered side and change markedly with the tide. Baltrum is car-free, so walking, cycling and horse-drawn transport set the pace. Its small settlement, dunes and maritime horizons give the island a distinct North Sea character.
