From the train station out into the Koog and back through the villages. The route was very pleasant to walk, with little traffic. Most of the route was asphalted. A pleasant route, suitable for a Saturday.

The Hamburger Hallig is a fascinating peninsula in the Wadden Sea of Schleswig-Holstein, which is connected to the mainland by a dam. It is located in the district of North Friesland and belongs to the municipality of Reußenköge. The Hallig extends over about 1,000 hectares and is an important nature reserve managed by the German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU). Historically, the Hamburger Hallig was dammed in the 17th century by the Hamburg merchants Rudolf and Arnold Amsinck. However, the original dyke structure was destroyed by several storm surges and the Hallig remained unprotected for a long time. It was not until the 19th century that the current dam was built, which connects the Hallig to the mainland and promotes sedimentation, which led to the formation of today's landscape. The Hamburger Hallig offers a variety of nature experiences. The salt marshes in particular are a highlight and provide habitat for numerous bird species. Visitors can explore the Hallig on well-developed paths and observe rare bird species such as the oystercatcher, the shoveler and the redshank. Bird watching is an experience, especially during the migration periods in spring and autumn. A central point of the Hamburger Hallig is the Hallig-Krog, an inn that is open from Easter to the end of October. Here visitors can take a break and enjoy the local cuisine. In addition to the Hallig-Krog, there is also the Amsinck-Haus, an information point that provides information about the flora and fauna of the Hallig and offers various educational programs.
