Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Main Wall Areas 2 to 3
Start with the ground, because the ground is the whole reason this wall exists. Between the Baltic inlet of the Schlei and the North Sea marshes, the Jutland peninsula pinches to a corridor of firm, sandy land, and for more than a thousand years every army, trader and pilgrim travelling between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe had to squeeze through it.

Main Wall Areas 2 to 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.
