A worth seeing old Viking stronghold

A small historical highlight for us.

How does the 🦆 duck get into the 🥫 can? Only six of the Föhr bird hides are left, and only the Boldixum bird hide can be visited. Bird hides used to be used to obtain food and were an important part of the local economy. The bird hide consists of an artificial pond surrounded by so-called "pipes". These pipes are narrow corridors covered with nets that become increasingly narrower. How it works: * Decoys: Tamed ducks lure their wild counterparts into the hide because they find food and a safe place to rest there. * The trap: When the wild ducks follow the decoys, they get caught in the pipes. These are designed so that the ducks can swim in but cannot get out. * The catch: At the end of the pipe there is a trap in which the ducks are caught. ☝️Worth watching a short explanation of the bird cages on Föhr: https://youtu.be/zMVw4puvL1Y?si=FuogCtpyeWB5bp6f

The Lembecksburg served as a protective castle against the Vikings in the 9th and 10th centuries. It is located near the town of Borgsum. Today all that remains of the former castle is the eight meter high ring wall. This offers you a wonderful all-round view over the island of Föhr and into the castle interior with a diameter of 100 meters. Excavations began again in the summer of 2021 in order to find out more about the castle's actual purpose and useful life.

The Lembecksburg is an impressive ring wall from the 9th/10th century. Century and namesake for the island village “Borigsem”, as the “settlement near the castle” is called in Frisian. With a circumference of around 450 meters and a height of up to 13 meters, the ring wall northwest of Borgsum once served as a refuge and protective castle from the Vikings. In the 14th century it came into the possession of the Holstein nobleman Klaus Lembeck. The Danish King Waldemar IV besieged Borgsum Castle in 1374 because Lembeck refused to swear allegiance to him. When the nobleman no longer saw a way out, he sank the treasures into the well and fled in a boat across the tidal creek, which at that time still connected the Borgsum Marsh with the North Sea. The Lembecksburg is now an archaeological monument. On the Lembecksburg grounds you can have a wonderful picnic in the countryside. https://www.foehr.de/ausflugstipps
