Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Crooked Wall Areas 1 to 2 Main Wall Areas
For Danes, the Danevirke is more than an archaeological site, because over the centuries it grew into a symbol. In the nineteenth century, when national feeling was rising across Europe, the Danes saw the old wall as the guardian of their southern border and of their identity, and the name was given to songs, newspapers and political societies. The idea that the true frontier lay at the Eider river, not at the present border, drove a bitter struggle between Danish and German nationalists, a conflict that ended in war and in the loss of the duchies in 1864.

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.
