Wichter Ee

Seals and gray seals on the Othelloplate on the western bank of the Wichter Ee

The Wichter Ee is an approximately 800 meter wide maritime channel between the East Frisian Islands Norderney (in the west) and Baltrum (in the east).

Next to the Othelloplate , the eastern end of the island of Norderney, there are sandbanks in Wichter Ee , which are inhabited by harbor seals and gray seals . The western end of the island of Baltrum is formed by the harbor and massive coastal defenses that protect the island from storm surges that penetrate the Wichter Ee when the wind blows from the west .
