Description
NSG Wester-Spätinge is a beautiful little nature reserve. Especially during high tide in the Wadden Sea birds seek these refuges and shelter here for resting. But also otherwise you can spot rare birds in the reeds or at the little islands and mudbanks. Comfortably spotting from the dike.
