Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Arched Wall
The Danevirke is a monument you walk along more than you look at, and the Arched Wall is a good place to see why. The rampart here bends in a long gentle curve across the fields, a green bank with a ditch beside it, and from the top you can follow its shape to the horizon. The line has the odd, deliberate look of something designed by people who understood the ground: it skirts a wet hollow here, climbs a low rise there, and always keeps the high side on the Danish side.

Planning note
Arched Wall is where the day begins. Next is National Park Wadden Sea Schleswig-Holstei.
2. National Park Wadden Sea Niedersachsen
Here the Wadden Sea comes right up against the dyke. This is the coast of the Wurster Nordseeküste, between the Weser and Elbe estuaries, a country of low sea walls, drained farmland and wide skies, and the mudflats outside the dyke are part of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park. Together with the Dutch and Danish parts of the Wadden Sea, the area is a UNESCO World Heritage site, valued above all for the sheer scale of the tidal flats and the millions of birds that pass through on migration. When the tide goes out, it goes a very long way.
