Seehundstation Friedrichskoog

The Friedrichskoog Seal Sanctuary cares for injured or orphaned seals and grey seals from the Wadden Sea. Visitors gain exciting insights into the work of the sanctuary and learn more about the wildlife of the North Sea. The observation areas, where the animals can be seen up close, are particularly popular. The best time to visit the Friedrichskoog seal sanctuary is usually between spring and late summer. The months of May to August are particularly exciting, as young, orphaned seals - known as howlers - are often taken in and cared for during this time. There are often a particularly large number of animals at the station.
