August 23, 2024, Hauke-Haien-Koog Dike Cycle Path

The loop around the Beltringharder Koog and over Nordstrand is also beautiful. Then perhaps over the car dam to Schobüll. Schobüll and Halebüll are located on a tongue of the Geest and therefore have no dyke. To the northwest of Schobüll there is a reed biotope, which is particularly scenic due to the fresh water that flows out. The old dyke of the Hattstedtermarsch from Lüttmoorsiel via Arlauschleuse and to Wobbenbüll has been patched up frequently due to many breaks. This makes it very winding, and inland there are often dikes, bodies of water that were created by the excavation for the repairs. The Arlau, which drains the area as far as the Geest, is also very impressive. The water can only flow to the side because of the clay bed below the ground, which makes the sea level important, and must not be allowed to rise too high.

The Hauke-Haien-Koog is an impressive bird sanctuary and a popular destination for cyclists and nature lovers in North Friesland. The Koog was dammed between 1958 and 1960 and is named after the main character in Theodor Storm's novella "The Rider on the White Horse". With an area of 1,250 hectares, of which around 700 hectares are for agricultural purposes and 538 hectares are freshwater reservoirs, the Koog is not only used for agriculture, but above all for bird and nature conservation. The cycle path along the dyke of the Hauke-Haien-Koog offers breathtaking views of the surrounding salt marshes and the diverse bird life. Especially during the migration periods in spring and autumn, the area is an important resting and moulting place for thousands of birds, including geese, ducks, avocets and terns. Rare species such as the bittern and the reed warbler can also be observed here. The cycle path is ideal for bird watching and offers numerous information boards and observation huts along the route. These are accessible all year round and offer insights into the flora and fauna of the protected area. In addition, the Jordsand Association, which looks after the area, offers regular guided tours and events.

It is simply fantastic to ride this route, a well-developed "bicycle highway".

The quickest way to get from Dagebüll to Amrum is by ferry without stopping in Föhr. The journey only takes 90 minutes with the direct connection. With a stopover in Föhr, the journey time is extended by 30 minutes and then amounts to 2 hours. The journey from Dagebüll to Föhr takes 50 minutes.

Most holidaymakers travel to the island of Föhr via the ferry port in Dagebüll on the mainland. The Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei ferries run from Dagebüll all year round and several times a day to the island of Föhr and on to Amrum. The departures are independent of the tide and only deviate from the timetable in the event of extremely low tide or severe flooding. The ferry crossing to Föhr takes approximately 40 to 45 minutes. The four W.D.R. ferries, which are used on the route between Dagebüll, Wyk auf Föhr and Wittdün on Amrum, can bring 50 to 75 cars and up to 1,200 passengers per trip to the islands.

Gateway to the islands of Foehr and Amrum. Otherwise, Dagebüll has a very nice bathing beach, which is subject to a fee (2 euros per day).

Schlüttsiel is not only a ferry port, but also a great place for a break. There is a beautiful meadow with many benches with a great view of the North Sea. There is also a bathing area here.
