Seehundstation und Waloseum

Seehundstation and Whale Museum combine animal care, research, and environmental education in a clear and engaging way. Here, mainly orphaned or weakened seals and grey seals are taken in, treated medically, and prepared for their return to the North Sea. Visitors gain exciting insights into the work of the caretakers and learn why calm, protected areas, and respectful behavior toward nature are so important for marine mammals. At the Whale Museum, the fascinating world of the Wadden Sea is the focus. Exhibitions explain habitats, migratory birds, coastal dynamics, and the importance of this unique ecosystem. Especially impressive is the large skeleton of a sperm whale, which makes the scale of the marine world visible. The visit is ideal for families, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to better understand the wildlife of the North Sea coast. It creates a successful mix of experience, knowledge, and active species conservation.
