A special walk across mudflats, salt marshes and beach through the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site.

Tussen Slik en Zand is a special walking event through the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site, in which participants walk across mudflats, salt marshes and beach on the border between land and sea. With a guide, you cross this dynamic tidal area safely, right in the middle of the raw, wide-open nature of the Wadden.

The event is aimed at nature lovers and walkers looking for something more adventurous than an ordinary route. The combination of mud under your feet, the smell of salty air and the wide views across the Wadden Sea makes it an unforgettable experience, especially in the quiet autumn. It is highly recommended if you want to experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site actively and up close.
