Multimar Wattforum
Tönning, Germany
The visitor centre of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park, with large aquariums and a sperm whale skeleton. A good rainy-day stop before heading out to the mudflats.
The Multimar Wattforum in Tönning is the visitor centre of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park and opened on 9 June 1999; the Whale House in the basement was added in 2003. A 17.5 m sperm whale skeleton hangs there. The ground-floor aquariums show more than 250 species of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and snails, along with a large tidal pool, hands-on stations and exhibitions on salt marshes, mudflats and tides. The exhibition presents the Wadden Sea as a World Heritage Site.
