Hallig Hooge

Built around a chain of raised dwelling mounds, Hallig Hooge developed into a permanently inhabited Hallig in the North Sea’s Wadden Sea. Unlike a dyked island, much of its salt-marsh terrain can be covered during storm tides; homes, the church and other buildings stand on the elevated mounds known locally as warfts. Hooge lies within Schleswig-Holstein’s Wadden Sea National Park, part of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea shared by Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. St John’s Church and the Heimatmuseum on Hanswarft reflect the traditions of life on this tidal coast.
