General Info

The Frisian Islands (also known as the Wadden Islands or the Wadden Sea Islands), are part of the Netherlands and are an archipelago that stretches from the NW of the Netherlands pas Germany to the western edge of Denmark. The islands separate the shallow Wadden Sea (large parts of which dry out at low tide) from the North Sea.

The westernmost islands of Texel and Vlieland are Dutch speaking and those further north are Danish-speaking.

Most of the archipelago are environmentally protected areas, and an international wildlife nature reserve is in the planning. Natural gas and oil drilling is common here.

A very useful article on sailing  in the swatchways around these islands was sent to Noonsite by a local sailor and can be found here.

YachtFlags.com offers a discount to Noonsite members.

YachtFlags.com provides high quality courtesy flags that are manufactured in durable Knitted Polyester fabric.
