UNESCO has put the Wadden Sea on the World Heritage List. This puts the Wadden Sea on the same footing as other world famous natural wonders on the World Heritage List like the Grand Canyon in the USA and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. UNESCO underlines with the allotment of this prestigious predicate that the Wadden Sea has such natural value to the world that it deserves this protection and must be cherished and kept safe for future generations.

Besides this the Wadden sea is the perfect area to enjoy watersports, sailing, make cycling routes and beautiful walks. Especially 'Wadlopen' is a famous attraction in this area(People make walks in the Wadden Sea when the water is low).
The Wadden Sea supports the largest population of migratory birds on the flyway. Next to this the Wadden Sea coast continues for about 500 km and is the longest unbroken stretch of mudflats world wide.
