This really is an insider tip! Great view of the North Sea, super tasty, beautifully presented food, at normal prices.
Great staff. Anyone who can employ people like that has a huge advantage over their competitors.

Schlüttsiel belongs to the municipality of Ockholm and is located on the Hauke-Haien Koog. It is just a port that was built in 1959. The port was named after the sluice.
The ferry port of Schlüttsiel is one or perhaps even the starting point for boat connections that lead to the Halligen.

Schlüttsiel is not only a ferry port, but also a great place for a break. There is a beautiful meadow with many benches with a great view of the North Sea. There is also a bathing area here.

Schlüttsiel is a small ferry port on the North Sea in North Friesland. The Hallig ferry departs from here towards Hooge, Langeneß and Gröde.

The Schlüttsiel ferry port was built in 1959 as part of the embankment of the Hauke-Haien-Koog. Before that, the old port, from which the ship connections to the Halligen existed, was in Bongsiel, about 3.5 km east of the current location. This facility was built in 1752. However, the port soon lost its importance because the access roads were very poorly developed.

Schlüttsiel today consists primarily of the multi-storey ferry house directly on the outer embankment in the Koog, the handling facilities for the ferry on the harbor pier, the harbor basin, the sluice structure of the Bongsieler Canal that drains here and the Jordsand information center inside the Koog. The port is important primarily because of the ferry connections to the Halligen Langeneß and Hooge that dock here.

Schlüttsiel belongs to the municipality of Ockholm and is located on the closing dike of the Hauke-Haien-Koog. From here there are regular ferries to the Halligen Langeneß, Gröde and Hooge.

Unfortunately, the coastal cycle path in front of the dyke is currently only partially available.... Otherwise, you can cycle wonderfully along the coast from Husum to Dagebüll.

The north and south piers of the port are used for a variety of boating activities on the Wadden Sea. There is a regular ferry service to Langeneß and Hooge, and there is a restaurant on the dyke where you can stop for a bite to eat.

The Schüttsiel is a small pumping station and lock located on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein, near the Nordstrand peninsula. It lies between the koogen and dikes of the Beltringharder Koog and the North Sea and serves primarily as a water regulation facility to control the water between the land-side drainage ditches and the North Sea.

The Schüttsiel plays an essential role in the regional coastal protection and water management system. It was built to protect the inland from flooding by allowing excess water from the agricultural land of the Koog areas to be discharged into the North Sea in a controlled manner. The locks and pumping stations are responsible for discharging water at low tide and preventing the ingress of seawater at high tide.

Another important feature of the Schüttsiel is its importance for shipping and tourism in the region. It allows smaller boats and sport fishermen access to the coastal waters and also serves as a starting point for trips to the Wadden Sea and the surrounding islands. Due to its proximity to popular destinations such as the Halligwelt and the Beltringharder Koog, the Schüttsiel offers a good starting point for exploring the unique nature and wildlife of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park.

The area around the Schüttsiel is particularly popular with nature lovers and cyclists as it offers a combination of scenic beauty and technical engineering. The paths along the dikes invite you to go on long hikes and bike rides, where you can enjoy the vastness of the North Frisian coastal landscape and the fresh sea breeze.

In addition, there are numerous opportunities for bird watching in the area, especially during the migration periods in spring and autumn, when many waders and water birds stop here. The region is a paradise for ornithologists and nature photographers who appreciate the diverse bird life and the picturesque sunsets over the North Sea.

It is the starting point for regular boat connections to the Halligen islands of Langeneß, Gröde, and Hooge, as well as—during the summer months—to the island of Amrum. Road connections exist south to Husum and Bredstedt, and north to Dagebüll. Buses run to Bredstedt.
