Nordstrand is a peninsula on the North Sea coast in Schleswig-Holstein and is part of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park. Known for its unique nature, tranquility and expansive landscapes, Nordstrand is a paradise for nature lovers and cyclists. The peninsula is surrounded by an extensive network of dikes that provide protection from the tides and storm surges while also offering a great opportunity for hiking and cycling along the coast. A highlight of Nordstrand is the opportunity to experience the Wadden Sea up close. At low tide, you can explore vast mudflats and discover the Wadden Sea's unique ecosystem, which is home to numerous species of birds and marine life. The "land under" phenomenon is particularly impressive when the tide washes over the lower areas of Nordstrand and creates a unique water landscape. Nordstrand is also the perfect starting point for trips to the Halligen, small, unprotected marsh islands in the Wadden Sea that can often only be reached at low tide. A boat trip to Hallig Hooge or the island of Pellworm is particularly popular. For cyclists, Nordstrand offers several well-developed cycle routes that lead through green meadows, past flocks of sheep and picturesque farms. The "Nordstrander Rundtour" is a particularly recommended route that leads along the dikes and offers breathtaking views of the Wadden Sea and the surrounding islands. Historically, Nordstrand has a turbulent past. The peninsula was originally an island that was divided by several severe storm surges in the 17th century. The current connection to the mainland was created by the construction of a dam in the 1930s, which turned Nordstrand into a peninsula. In addition to nature, Nordstrand also has a lot to offer culturally. The small St. Vincent Church from the 13th century is one of the oldest buildings in the region and worth a visit. For a culinary break, the local restaurants offer fresh fish and regional specialties, including the famous Nordstrand lamb.

The tracks from Beltringharder Koog to Neuwarft are an interesting aspect of the infrastructure in the Nordstrand region. These tracks belong to a former lorry railway line that was originally used to transport building materials and to support coastal protection measures. During the construction of the Beltringharder Koog in the 1980s, these tracks were used to transport earth and building materials to facilitate dike construction. The Beltringharder Koog itself was created as part of a larger coastal protection project that required large amounts of earth and material to be moved. The lorry railway played an essential role in this. Today, the tracks are mostly disused, but some sections and remnants of the old railway line are still visible in the landscape, reminding us of the construction work at the time and the efforts to develop the Koog as a conservation and recreational area. Neuwarft is a small town on Nordstrand, and the connection between the Beltringharder Koog and Neuwarft via the old tracks shows the community's proximity to the coastal protection measures and their importance to the region. The rails and the associated infrastructure are no longer used for transport, but have been partially preserved as historical relics. They offer an insight into the history of land reclamation and coastal protection on the North Sea coast.
