Nordstrandischmoor, affectionately known as “Lüttmoor”, is one of the North Frisian Hallig islands in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea. The Hallig is about 1.9 square kilometers in size and belongs to the municipality of Nordstrand. It is home to around 22 residents who live on four mounds: Neuwarft, Amalienwarft, Halberwegwarft and Norderwarft.
Historically, Nordstrandischmoor was part of the large island of Strand, which was almost completely destroyed in the devastating Burchardi flood of 1634. Only a third of the original land area of 500 hectares remained.
The Hallig is connected to the mainland via the Lorenbahn. This narrow-gauge railway line was built in 1933/1934 to transport building materials for coastal protection. Today, residents use the Lorenbahn to transport goods and people. Each household has its own lorry, which is often maintained by the islanders themselves. The railway line is about 3.6 kilometers long and was modernized in 2000 so that it can be used regardless of the tides.
Nordstrandischmoor is known for its unique natural landscape and the traditional Hallig houses, which are built on mounds to protect them from storm surges. The Hallig offers ideal conditions for bird watching and mudflat hiking. The region is an important resting place for migratory birds, especially in spring and autumn.
