Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Connection Wall Area 3
Where the Danevirke meets the water, it has to do something clever, and here at Fahrdorf you can see the point. The wall that is labelled Connection Wall Area 3 ties the western ramparts to the fortified town of Hedeby, running down toward the shore of the Schlei, an inlet that reaches far inland. At the water's edge the ground is soft and wet, and the builders used it as part of the defence, so the bank peters out in reeds and mud.

Planning note
Connection Wall Area 3 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.
