Choresand and Mandø ( Manö ) on a map from 1880 |
The Koresand is a high sand in the southern Danish Wadden Sea southwest of the island of Mandø . There was at least one terp on Koresand until the island was abandoned in the 19th century after several storm surges . At around 20 square kilometers, Koresand is currently the largest sandbank in the Wadden Sea.
In the summer months there are guided mudflat walks and horse-drawn carriage trips from Mandø to Koresand. When the water level allows, a car drives to the west coast of Koresand every day, where the Wadden Sea ends and the open sea begins. With a suitable wind, a lot of amber can be found on Koresand . Seals can often be seen lying on the sand on the southwest side . The journey takes about two hours.
