Frequently asked questions about the packing list for a holiday on the North Sea
Which clothes are suitable for a Wattwand?
For a Wattwand you need old, closed shoes or special water shoes. It is best to put on short or retractable pants. Also think of changing clothes and a towel. Sun protection is also important, as there is hardly any shade in the Wadden Sea.
What do I have to pack for the North Sea in the summer?
In the summer on the North Sea you definitely need sun protection with a high sun protection factor, a headgear and a light jacket for the still fresh sea air. Also important are waterproof shoes for the Watt and a beach shell as wind protection.
How do I pack space-saving for the North Sea holiday?
Roll your clothes instead of folding them, this saves space. For better organization, you can use packing cubes, for example. In the shoes you can store socks and small parts. Plan your outfits in advance so as not to pack too much and keep track.
What always likes to be forgotten?
Definitely forgotten: adapters for sockets, change for public toilets, charging cables, a flashlight for evening beach walks, plastic bags for wet bathing clothes and a light sweater for cool evenings.
