An excellent opportunity to take advantage of the new european green pass comes from Denmark. From May 21 it will in fact be possible to visit a spiral tower for a panoramic view of the Wadden Sea National Park, on the west coast of the Scandinavian country. Marsh Tower (Marsktårn) is 25 meters high and has the very characteristic shape of a spiral staircase.

Designed by Big Group, the tower will tower over Marsk Camp, a new campground for 125 campers with a restaurant, cafeteria, and ice cream parlor, all built with rustic, natural materials. A playground and miniature golf course will also be present. The Wadden Sea has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique geological and ecological value. It is the world's largest tidal stretch system, stretching along the coasts of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The Marsh Tower will be accessible to all as it will be possible to get to the top of the tower by elevator to reach the viewing terrace. At a time in history when many are spending more time exploring nature, the purpose of the tower is to add new perspectives and ways of experiencing the area.
The Wadden Sea covers 500 km and three countries. UNESCO has designated the Danish part of the Wadden Sea as a World Heritage Site. The German/Dutch part has already been declared a World Heritage Site in 2009. A unique nature reserve in the world.
The extraordinary Wadden Sea
The Wadden Sea is the largest national park in Denmark, A natural space to experience an infinite landscape. The tidal flats present are among the most valuable in the world because they are essential for the reproduction of birds, fish, marine mammals and plants. Among the main features is the spectacular phenomenon of low tide, which twice a day shows the seabed covered with worms, mollusks and snails that attract large flocks of birds. This particular event allows for excursions, either on foot, on horseback or on characteristic local wagons, which also allow visitors to collect large quantities of oysters. The added height from the spiral tower will expand the panoramic views from 3.6 to 18.2 kilometers, making it possible to see the entire island of Rømø all the way to the sea.
How to get to Denmark from Italy
The vast majority of international flights to Denmark are from Copenhagen International Airport. To get to Denmark from Italy, there are two main routes present in June pending possible further openings as the vaccination campaign grows. From Naples, one can reach Copenhagen with a direct flight Ryanair, while from Rome there are two options: a flight KLM from Fiumicino or a Ryanair one from Ciampino.
