The Slufter is a beach plain largely enclosed by dunes on the Dutch Wadden Island of Texel, which is in open connection with the North Sea, creating a salt marsh landscape. The Slufter is part of the National Park Dunes of Texel. The area is owned by Staatsbosbeheer. It has an area of over 700 ha (land and water). In the south-east corner is a viewpoint and an entrance. The southern part of the area can be "strolled". This part is probably the most walked salt marsh in Europe.[1] Further north and west is a large resting area. In a strict sense, "the slufter" is the name of the creek/creeks that flowed through the area. Today, the "Vlakte van de Slufter" - also called the Sluftervallei or the Slufter area - is also usually referred to simply as "De Slufter". Nowadays, in other places too - e.g. on other Dutch Wadden Islands - people speak of slufters and slufter formation, to indicate beach plains constricted by the dunes, where the influence of ebb and flow is present. These terms are toponyms; they are derived from De Slufter on Texel.[2] source wikipedia
