ハリゲンホーゲのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A must-see!!! This house is a gem, its walls lined with approximately 5,000 original Delft tiles.

Particularly photogenic is the small church mound, which rises above the salt marshes surrounded by tidal creeks.

Perhaps you'll pass by Hanswarft on your wanderings. Don't miss the chance to sample a Frisian specialty in the quaint T-Stube after a refreshing breeze. If you'd like to learn more about the ancient seafaring culture, a visit to Königspesel is a must, where the Danish king spent the night during a storm surge in 1825.

The almost 6 km² Hallig Hooge is one of the 7 inhabited Hallig islands (out of a total of 10) in the German North Sea. From the mainland, all you can see are the terps, small mounds on which the houses of the Hallig inhabitants stand, as if floating in the North Sea. Every spring and autumn, the salt marshes provide feeding and resting grounds for thousands of migratory birds. It is an incredible spectacle when the brent geese take flight in huge, cloud-like flocks, making a loud noise. The Hallig also has a lot to offer human visitors. You can take amazingly long hikes on the Hallig and in the mudflats, sample Frisian specialties on the Hanswarft and Backenswarft, and even go swimming in some places. Here you will find pure relaxation.

Zum blauen Pesel is a small, quaint but very tasty café. It is worth mentioning that they even accept card payments and serve vegan cakes.

Nice to look at, but not an absolute must.

The "Königspesel" is located in a so-called eaves house, which was built in 1776 by the captain and ship owner Tade Hans Bandix. The "Pesel" is the most impressive room. It is decorated with Dutch biblical tiles and a remarkable ceiling and door painting. It also contains many art treasures, some from earlier centuries. King Frederick VI of Denmark chose this elegantly decorated room to spend the night in when he was surprised by a storm surge (1825) on his sightseeing trip. Hence the name "Königspesel".

The soul needs the sea, the body needs fish sandwiches.
