Clear your head in Oldambt

Clear your head? That starts on the coast of Oldambt. The coast of UNESCO World Heritage Site the Wadden Sea offers many places to recharge your batteries and start your exploration of unspoilt nature. We are happy to point out places and activities where you can unwind in Oldambt.

During mudflat hiking

Wadlopen at the Dollard is a real challenge. During low tide, much more water per surface is discharged and deposited here than elsewhere on the mud flats. The wet sand sucks at your shoe soles, while the wind rushes through your hair. You can go mudflat hiking together with Jan Kraster on request.

This part of the Netherlands is at its darkest.
