Description
Once a year, in the small spa town of Cuxhaven Duhnen you can experience the world-famous »horse race on the
seabed«. As soon as the tide ebbs the hard-flattened edge of the Wadden Sea draws the first competitors to begin
their match. This race is a matter of both money and honor.
By the time the competitors arrive at the finish line both the horses and their jockeys are completely soaked and
covered in mud from the North German mudflat. The tradition has been going on for over one hundred years and
every time the race has been held on the North Sea\'s shoreline. It is regarded as on par with the running of
the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, and the Husky sledge races in icy Alaska.
