Mudflat Hiking

Simply relax

Book your time out now!

Treat yourself

Experience the Wadden Sea National Park in a small circle

A mudflat hike is a MUST for every North Sea holidaymaker, because walking on the seabed and enjoying the clear North Sea air allows you to quickly forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As a guest of our hotel, you can enjoy this exclusive arrangement, because our certified mudflat guides Christine and Catharina Dethleffsen, two true North Frisians, accompany our hotel guests exclusively in small groups on a hike through this special habitat. They bring with them all sorts of interesting facts about the flora and fauna in the Wadden Sea National Park.

Day 1: Welcome: Arrival and room check-in. In the evening, a delicious 4-course dinner awaits you in our “Deichgraf” restaurant. Enjoy a fresh salad from the buffet, choose a soup and a main course from our menu (you can choose from fish, meat or vegetarian main courses). A sweet finish is of course a must – let yourself be inspired by our dessert selection

Day 2: You will meet your mudflat guide at the hotel and receive a welcome cocktail as well as initial information about the dykes and mudflats. You will then travel to the starting point of the mudflat hike. This is carried out in small groups & exclusively for our guests (duration approx. 2 hours; order depends on the tide).
After the mudflat hike, we return to the North Sea Hotel Arlau-Schleuse. We toast this nature experience together and you receive your “lugworm certificate”.

Day 3: A free day for your own explorations is on the program. How about a trip to nearby Husum or to the popular North Sea island of Sylt? In the evening, you can go on a sunset walk along the dyke from the hotel.

Day 4: After our sumptuous breakfast buffet, it’s time to say goodbye. Alternatively, you can enjoy the many other special features of the North Friesland region during your individual extension, e.g. with our hotel’s own e-bikes and bicycles, which you are welcome to hire from us.

Great family-operated hotel. Friendly staff. To be recommended for people looking for peace and relaxation. Moreover, the restaurant is excellent. A weekend feels like a week's holiday. We have already been there six times and plan to spend the next holiday there as well.

Very nice staff, the service was very good. The food was rich and delicious. I chose asparagus and didn't regret it. The restaurant has a quiet romantic location and is hard to find without a navigation system. The owners are very dog-friendly and the area invites you to go for a long dog walk. We felt very comfortable there.

I call it great luck to have enjoyed my wonderful holiday in North Frisia in this hotel, which I can highly recommend. As to the three-star category, the hotel room was impeccable, the staff very friendly and especially the food in the associated restaurant "Deichgraf" excellent. I am really very satisfied, grateful and would recommend this hotel to anyone without hesitation. My already beautiful trip thus became a perfect experience.
