Take a closer look at the creatures of the Wadden Sea. This and much more awaits you in the small exhibition of the "Wattwerkstatt". Here you can find out about the Wadden Sea, the Hallig world and the diversity and uniqueness of the animal and plant species in the Wadden Sea National Park using clear information boards and numerous brochures and flyers. You can look at the creatures of the mudflats through a binocular or observe birds through a spotting scope. The beach find box and the mudflat cube invite you to touch and discover. Questions will be answered on site by an intern or the national park ranger. Games for young and old also await you. https://www.amsinck-haus.de/hamburger-hallig/

There is a rest hut in the reeds here, and I was able to observe the spoonbill there. It has only settled here in recent years as the weather has become warmer.

Today we were able to observe around 200 Pellworm greylag geese.

Well-groomed fething on the Tammwarft. Information board with lots of background information. Why make a lily pond out of it?

The terps, built since the 12th century, had to find a source of fresh water. The fething has been used as a fresh water reservoir in the terp until modern times. This is the only surviving storehouse of its kind on the island. It was repaired in 1934 and supplied water for people and animals until the island was connected to the central water supply (1964). With a water depth of up to 5m, the Fething could contain approx. 350sqm of rainwater, which was originally scooped up with buckets from two opposite jetties, and later also pumped with hand pumps. As part of the village renewal, the Fething was restored in 1989 and is now a listed building.

In an experiment that is unique worldwide, researchers from the University of Hamburg and the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (USA) are studying the effects of global warming on salt marshes on the Hamburger Hallig in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park. The scientists set up study areas on Hallig 27, which are around nine square meters in size and covered with domes. Under the foils of these domes, the air temperature rises due to the sun's rays, like in a greenhouse. With the help of cables, the ground is also heated up to a depth of one meter by 1.5 or 3 degrees Celsius. From March to September until 2022, the researchers want to observe the development of species composition in different vegetation zones, the production and breakdown of biomass, nutrient turnover in the soil and the fixation of carbon in the soil.
