beautiful view of the nature reserve "Wöhrdener Loch" The 495 hectare “Wöhrdener Loch” in the north of the Meldorfer Speicherkoog is one of the two nature reserves that were created to compensate for the loss of around 1560 hectares of sandy tidal flats and around 900 hectares of foreland and salt marsh areas as a result of the diking. In contrast to the southern "Kronenloch", the "Wöhrdener Loch" is cut off from the salt water flow. The aim was to create a freshwater biotope in this area as a breeding, feeding and resting place for endangered bird species. https://www.schutzstation-wattenmeer.de/unsere-stations/meldorfer-speicherkoog/nsg-woehrdener-loch/

South of the new Meldorf harbor is the 532-hectare Kronenloch nature reserve. Here, for the first time, a saltwater biotope with a tidal influence was created on the west coast within a dike. In the now designated wilderness area (Natura 2000) the goal is: “Let nature be nature”. https://www.schutzstation-wattenmeer.de/unsere-stations/meldorfer-speicherkoog/nsg-kronenloch/

The nature reserve is fed by the sea water of the North Sea. It was set up in 1985. You can find out more about the Kronenloch in the NABU National Park House. While you cycle through the area on the beautifully landscaped bike path, you can enjoy the beautiful nature. Take a break and keep an eye out for the birds that make their home here.
