GERMANY ~ Wadden Sea National Park - UNESCO ~

... Sea bottom meets horizon... the Wadden Sea is for ten thousand years a landscape of wide beaches and wild lagoons constantly changed by the influences of ebb and flow, sea and wind... it is the habitat of thousands of animal and plant species and also a place of nourishment for millions of migrating birds... hiking on the mudflats has become a popular pastime... with nice EUROPA stamp and great first day postmark👍... Thanks a lot Dustin! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Wadden Sea is the world’s largest continuous area of intertidal sand and mud flats, extending for 650 km along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.The land that appears at low tide is called mudflat in English (and Watt in German).The Wadden Sea area became a national park in 2010.  

In 2009, the Dutch and German parts of the Wadden Sea were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List and the Danish part was added in 2014.
