Sorry, entering the track system is unfortunately forbidden...
But maybe you can meet Hallig residents or employees of the LKN.SH with the Lorenbahn.

The tracks from Beltringharder Koog to Neuwarft are an interesting aspect of the infrastructure in the Nordstrand region. These tracks belong to a former lorry railway line that was originally used to transport building materials and to support coastal protection measures. During the construction of the Beltringharder Koog in the 1980s, these tracks were used to transport earth and building materials to facilitate dike construction.The Beltringharder Koog itself was created as part of a larger coastal protection project that required large amounts of earth and material to be moved. The lorry railway played an essential role in this. Today, the tracks are mostly disused, but some sections and remnants of the old railway line are still visible in the landscape, reminding us of the construction work at the time and the efforts to develop the Koog as a conservation and recreational area.Neuwarft is a small town on Nordstrand, and the connection between the Beltringharder Koog and Neuwarft via the old tracks shows the community's proximity to the coastal protection measures and their importance to the region. The rails and the associated infrastructure are no longer used for transport, but have been partially preserved as historical relics. They offer an insight into the history of land reclamation and coastal protection on the North Sea coast.
