Hooge, Coastal municipality in Nordfriesland, Germany.

Hallig Hooge spans 5.78 square kilometers in the Wadden Sea, with houses constructed on nine elevated mounds called Warften to protect from flooding.

The settlement experienced a significant transformation in 1860 when the adjacent Hainshallig territory submerged completely into the North Sea waters.

The community maintains North Frisian traditions through regular gatherings and events at the nine inhabited Warften spread across the municipality.

Visitors reach the island through ferry services departing from Schlüttsiel harbor, with transportation limited to walking or cycling within the municipality.

The municipality includes Norderoog, an uninhabited hallig, and manages waste collection through specific ferry trips scheduled every Thursday.
