Beautiful, free trekking spot of the "Wild Schleswig-Holstein" initiative... It is not for nothing that it is called "Mosquito Paradise"... there can be countless mosquitoes here... the spot is beautifully situated by a lake with seating area

If you want to spend the night in this beautiful idyllic place, you should definitely bring a mosquito net with you 😉 Anti-mosquito spray was even available in the hut 👍

It is only a few kilometers from Dagebüll harbor and you reach a district of Dagebüll: Fahretoft. A lovely place with lots of little thatched-roof houses on mounds. Lots of nature awaits you and if you drive a little further you will reach the Bottschloter Lake. This little spot on earth is wonderfully recommended for hikes and bike tours. https://www.dagebuell-tourismus.de/vor-ort-umgebung/orte/fahretoft

This is a trekking site offered by the state forests in the "Wildes Schleswig-Holstein" project at the youth forest home in Süderlügum. The site is southwest of the JWH building, about 150 m away by a small pond. The site is open to the public. https://www.naturschutz-sh.de/wildes-sh/trekkingplatz-suederluegum

Fething (North Frisian: di / jü Feeding) is a special water storage basin on the Halligen and terps in the marshland on the German and Dutch North Sea coasts. Fethinge are rainwater collecting basins that were usually used as cattle troughs and give the impression of a normal pond. Mostly they were created at the highest point, i.e. in the middle of the Hallig or Terft. Since the surface water of the meadows and thus possibly also dung could get into Fethinge, they were usually not suitable as reservoirs for drinking water. For this purpose, a separate cistern, the so-called Sood, was created, in which the rainwater from the roofs could collect. Drinking water was a precious commodity on the Halligen and in the marshland. Due to the island location and the small size of a Hallig, even the groundwater consists of salt water. The Fethinge only lost its task in the middle of the 20th century when the water supply was gradually expanded. In the meantime, the still existing fethings have been placed under monument protection. Source: Wikipedia
