Beschrijving
The saltmarshes of the Hamburger Hallig reach from the dike four kilometers to the actual Hallig near the water. There is one path that you can follow. Right at the parking lot is a ditch which is covered with reed. In spring and summer this is good spot to look for Blauwborst, Kleine Karekiet, Rietzanger and Rietgors. Also a few pairs of Grauwe Gors breed behind the dike. When over the dike, there is an area with shorter vegetation where especially in spring an autumn thousands of Rotgans and Brandgans forage for their journey to the south or north. When you look closely between these geese there are sometimes rarities like Roodhalsgans or other subspecies of Rotgans. In these times there are also many Kievit and Goudplevier. In winter the dike is the best place to look for Sneeuwgors, Strandleeuwerik and Frater. Between these there are sometimes rarities like IJsgors.
Halfway to the Hallig there is the "Schafsberg", a hill with a little hut on it. From there you have a great view over the saltmarshes. In spring and summer they are full of life. Birds like Grutto, Kluut, Scholekster, Graspieper and Veldleeuwerik breed in large numbers in the meadows. This is also the spot with one of the highest densities of Tureluur at the whole coast of Nordfriesland. Birds of prey are also common visitors in the saltmarshes. Bruine Kiekendief is there from spring to autumn, Blauwe Kiekendief from autumn until spring, while Zeearend can be seen the whole year.
From the actual Hallig you have a good view on the mudflats of the Wadden Sea. Bonte Strandloper, Rosse Grutto, Kanoet and Zilverplevier come in high numbers in spring and autumn to forage. Kokmeeuw, Zilvermeeuw, Eider and sometimes Middelste Zaagbek breed at the edge of the Hallig while Noordse Stern and Visdief only come here to forage.

Toegang
With public transport the Hamburger Hallig can best be done from Bredstedt, the nearest trainstation. From there a bus goes there irregularly. If you come with the car, you can park at in the parking lot behind the dike. Click on the P in the map for directions. From there you can either walk or rent a bike cheaply and ride further to the Hallig. The way to the end of the Hallig is about four kilometers.
