Hamburger Hallig, Tidal island in North Frisia, Germany

Located on the west coast of Nordfriesland district, Hamburger Hallig spans 50 hectares and connects to the mainland through a 4-kilometer-long causeway.

Two Hamburg merchants, Rudolf and Arnold Amsinck, built dikes in the early 17th century until the Burchardi Flood of 1634 destroyed their structures.

The island features three artificial hills called Warften: the Main Warft, Kuhberg, and Schafsberg, which protect structures from regular flooding.

The Main Warft contains the Hallig Krog inn, operating during summer months, and facilities managed by the National Park Service for visitors.

The island floods up to 50 times annually, with only the elevated mounds remaining visible during these natural water immersion events.
