Very nice viewing hut. Overlooks a headland in the water near the hut, so if you sit for a while you can see all kinds of waders passing by. Also seen and special ducks. Also after the hut, towards the mudflats, there is water on the right with land nearby, giving you a good view of various birds from the road. Eagle also seen. In July...

The Beltringharder Koog is an impressive nature reserve in North Friesland, Schleswig-Holstein. The Koog was embanked in 1987 and covers an area of 3,350 hectares, making it the largest nature reserve on the Schleswig-Holstein mainland. It was created in response to storm surges and today serves to protect the coast and promote biodiversity in the region. The Beltringharder Koog has a variety of habitats, including saltwater and freshwater lagoons, wet grassland and tidal floodplains. These diverse biotopes provide habitat for numerous species of birds that breed or rest here. Over 100,000 waders and water birds use the Koog throughout the year, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. Commonly seen species include greylag geese and black-necked grebes. For visitors, there are well-developed hiking and cycling trails that lead through the diverse landscape of the Koog. Tours that start at Lüttmoorsiel and lead along the dike to Lüttmoorsee and further are particularly recommended. Observation huts and viewing platforms on these routes offer excellent opportunities to observe wildlife in its natural environment. The Koog is also an example of successful cooperation between nature conservation organizations such as NABU, the Wadden Sea Conservation Station and the WWF. Together they ensure that this unique ecosystem is protected and cared for.

Here, the effects of global warming on the salt marshes are simulated and observed in "climate chambers" at the University of Hamburg

Although it is not a perfect route for racing bikes, there are many gates to open and close. But in my opinion you should accept that, whether at high or low water, the Wadden Sea is always an experience, so it doesn't matter if it took you more time than planned. Also along the dike to Nordstand, really pleasant and if you want you can also take a break at the Holmersiel bathing area.

Nature lovers will get their money's worth here. Binoculars are recommended for observing the birds.

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.
