When the sun is shining, the water is crystal clear and you can't see where the sea ends and the sky begins - it can be hard to imagine that the Wadden Sea is also one of the most challenging waters in Denmark to row in.

There are actually many days of calm weather where the biggest challenge is to read the tide table correctly, so you are sure to have the current with you and enough water under the keel.

On quiet days, rowing around the Wadden Sea is pure balm for the soul. The tide does the work for you. If you've timed it correctly, you can actually feel like you're rowing downstream in a stream - in the sea, it's a special feeling! You can of course also do the opposite, row against the current both out and in, for the sake of training.

It happens occasionally that you don't see seals on a trip, but it's not often. The Wadden Sea is a nature reserve, Denmark's largest, and here it teems with life; seals are plentiful and almost everywhere. If you are interested in birds, the Wadden Sea is a slaraffenland.

It must be said that the Wadden Sea is generally not suitable for beginners. There are areas that are safe enough, but if you are unsure, it is better not to. You can also contact some of the local clubs in the area for further information. The route suggestions on these pages are almost all at EPP2 level and higher.

The water is very varied! And that factor, together with the wind, which determines and shapes everything here in the area. The tide changes the landscape, and it can surprise you how much it changes. Taking to the sea in the Wadden Sea guarantees you that your kayak trips will never be the same!
