About Langli Island

Langli Island
 

Langli Island is located off the west coast of Denmark, in the North Sea, and is characterized by its flat, marshy landscape. The island is part of the Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its exceptional natural value. Langli provides critical breeding grounds for various bird species, including migratory birds that use the island as a stopover. The island's unique ecosystem is supported by the tidal dynamics of the Wadden Sea, making it a vital habitat for marine and bird life. Historically, the island has been uninhabited since 1911, allowing nature to thrive with minimal human interference. Visitors to Langli Island experience a striking sense of solitude and have the opportunity to engage in guided tours to protect the fragile environment. Bird watching is a favored recreational activity, and the island's tidal flats and saltmarshes offer a glimpse into a well-preserved natural landscape.
