Birds and sheep. Flora and fauna. A wonderful view that you can experience there

The Hamburger Hallig is a fascinating peninsula in the Wadden Sea of Schleswig-Holstein, which is connected to the mainland by a dam. It is located in the district of North Friesland and belongs to the municipality of Reußenköge. The Hallig extends over about 1,000 hectares and is an important nature reserve managed by the German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU). Historically, the Hamburger Hallig was dammed in the 17th century by the Hamburg merchants Rudolf and Arnold Amsinck. However, the original dyke structure was destroyed by several storm surges and the Hallig remained unprotected for a long time. It was not until the 19th century that the current dam was built, which connects the Hallig to the mainland and promotes sedimentation, which led to the formation of today's landscape. The Hamburger Hallig offers a variety of nature experiences. The salt marshes in particular are a highlight and provide habitat for numerous bird species. Visitors can explore the Hallig on well-developed paths and observe rare bird species such as the oystercatcher, the shoveler and the redshank. Bird watching is an experience, especially during the migration periods in spring and autumn. A central point of the Hamburger Hallig is the Hallig-Krog, an inn that is open from Easter to the end of October. Here visitors can take a break and enjoy the local cuisine. In addition to the Hallig-Krog, there is also the Amsinck-Haus, an information point that provides information about the flora and fauna of the Hallig and offers various educational programs.

The law of nature, only the strongest come into play here. The colorful baskets also make a beautiful photo motif

Impressive Nabu protected area, about which further information is available at the information point on the Schafsberg

A really great destination when visiting North Friesland, a wonderfully constructed path leads through the salt marshes to the Hamburger Hallig. Not only the view, but also the visit is worthwhile.

It is only a few kilometers from Dagebüll harbor and you reach a district of Dagebüll: Fahretoft. A lovely place with lots of little thatched-roof houses on mounds. Lots of nature awaits you and if you drive a little further you will reach the Bottschloter Lake. This little spot on earth is wonderfully recommended for hikes and bike tours. https://www.dagebuell-tourismus.de/vor-ort-umgebung/orte/fahretoft

The 5km out to Hamburger Hallig are well worth it. The concrete slabs are well grouted and are definitely suitable for racing bikes. At the end is the Hallig-Krog restaurant - highly recommended. In the season it fills up quickly after opening.

The Hamburger Hallig is a non-dyked peninsula on the west coast of the Nordfriesland district in Schleswig-Holstein. The name of the Hallig is reminiscent of two Hamburg merchants, the brothers Rudolf and Arnold Amsinck. In 1624 they acquired the dyke rights on the northeast corner of the island of Strand as Oktroy and built dykes by 1628. This is how the Amsinck-Koog was created. The dikes were destroyed by the Burchardi flood in 1634. Only the terp with the “Hamburger Haus” remained and became a salvation for numerous Strand residents during the storm surge. After 1634, the dikes were rebuilt at great expense and survivors of the flood settled. In 1658 Arnold Amsinck died in the “Hamburger Haus” in his Koog after he had invested his entire fortune in rebuilding the dykes. In 1661 the house was demolished and replaced by a smaller one. What happened was described in literature by the Husum writer Albert Petersen in his novel Arnold Amsinck (1921). In 1711 the dikes were so destroyed that the Amsinck-Koog was a Hallig again. It remained in the possession of the Amsinck family until 1760. The name “Hamburger Hallig” was first mentioned in 1781. The house on the Hallig was destroyed by the February flood of 1825. In 1855 a dam connecting the island to the mainland was planned. The dam was built in 1859/60, but broke again in 1860. In 1866/67 a bush dam was built from Bordelumersiel to Hallig. This dam was fortified in 1874 and added a spillway that was closed in 1875. Due to the interruption of the tidal flows, the silt formation on both sides of the dam was greatly accelerated. The experience gained here has had a decisive influence on the further development of land reclamation. In 1878 the tax authorities bought the Hallig and from then on leased it for management. In 1880 an artesian well was built. The dam has been navigable since 1901. In 1908 the Hallig was 96 hectares in size. On April 16, 1930, it was 216 hectares in size including the dyke foreland and was declared a nature reserve. The Hamburger Hallig is no longer an island since it was connected to the mainland by a causeway in 1860. While a land connection via a dam does not, by definition, turn an island into a peninsula, the salt marshes in front of the dam are added here. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_Hallig
