The sky over Helgasjön north of the town of Växjö in Swedish Småland. The municipality of Växjö consists of about 13% lakes and rivers. Even the name Växjö suggests this, as it probably means "road by the lake." Photo taken on July 19, 2017. 

Mudflat hiking between the North Frisian mainland and the Hallig Oland. Mudflat hiking refers to a walk in the mudflats. This can be undertaken under the guidance of an experienced mudflat guide who is familiar with the particular dangers of the mudflats. There are mudflat hiking trails to or between some islands, which are sometimes marked with bush stakes and offer protection with rescue beacons in case hikers are caught by the tide.

Mudflat hiking in the North Frisian Wadden Sea. As part of an organized mudflat tour, you can receive information about the Wadden Sea natural area, the organisms in the mudflat soil, and the effects of the tides on the Wadden Sea. Guided mudflat hikes are offered by most tourist offices and nature conservation organizations such as the Wadden Sea Conservation Station. Photo taken: June 25, 2017. 

Mudflat hiking in the North Frisian Wadden Sea. A mudflat hike away from the coast should only be undertaken by the inexperienced in the company of a mudflat guide, as the tidal channels are flooded first during high tide, potentially cutting off the return route. Mudflat guides are informed about the daily changing tides and the shifting course of the tidal channels and plan the hike accordingly. Another danger is sea fog, which can suddenly appear and make orientation difficult or even impossible. Photo taken: June 25, 2017. 

On the dike of the Hallig Land in the North Frisian Wadden Sea. The Halligen rise only a few meters above sea level, which is why they are flooded during a strong tide except for the Warften, artificially raised mounds on which the houses stand (»Landunter«). Shot: June 25, 2017. 
