The Beltringharder Koog is the largest nature reserve on the mainland of Schleswig-Holstein and covers around 3,350 hectares. It is located near the Nordstrand Bay and was dammed in 1987 as part of a coastal protection project. Originally designed as a retention area for floods, the Koog has developed into an important habitat for many bird species and is now a true paradise for nature lovers and ornithologists. The diverse landscape of the Beltringharder Koog includes saltwater lagoons, wet meadows and wilderness areas. These different biotopes provide an ideal habitat for numerous plant and animal species. Countless waders and water birds can be observed here, especially during the migration periods in spring and autumn. There are numerous ways for visitors to explore the Beltringharder Koog. Well-developed walking and hiking trails lead through the area and provide impressive views of nature. There are also bird watching huts that offer an undisturbed view of the wildlife. The West Coast Integrated Station also offers informative exhibitions and guided tours that provide deeper insights into nature conservation and the ecology of the region. The Beltringharder Koog is an outstanding example of successful coastal and nature conservation in Germany. It not only offers valuable protection from storm surges, but also an important refuge for endangered animal and plant species. For nature lovers and bird watchers, the Koog is a worthwhile destination that offers unique nature experiences.

"Beltringharder Koog" "The area serves the permanent preservation and undisturbed development of a former Wadden Sea area with large salt and freshwater habitats, tide-influenced floodplains, swamps and other wetlands as well as a characteristic flora and fauna tied to these habitats, in particular the protection of the wading and water birds that rest and breed here." https://www.amt-nordsee-treene.de/Wirtschaft-Tourismus/Tourismus/Zweckverband-Beltringharder-Koog/
