The main reason why we headed to Texel was ofcourse for Wadden Sea which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Netherlands! Well actually, its a shared site with Germany and Denmark as well. Wadden Sea is the world's largest unbroken system of inter-tidal sand and mud flats. Its something like marsh land, but saltwater marsh, and a bit more complex than just a marsh.
