Hot sand
Hitzsand (formerly also heat ; Danish : Hitsbanke ) is a sandbank about 12 km long and about 1 km wide . It is located to the west of the town of Sankt Peter-Ording on the North Frisian peninsula of Eiderstedt and is used as a beach, including for sand sailing . A 1095 meter long pier leads to the sandbank. At the end there is a stilt house with a restaurant, the previous building of which dates from 1959.
To the south is beyond a Priel high visibility sand, north is Westerhever the Rochelsand. The name "Hitzsand" is explained by the Eiderstedt Frisian that was formerly spoken here , in which hitz is supposed to stand for white , the sandbank is correspondingly called white sand . Pieces of amber can be found especially at the southern end of the hot sand after storm surges . In connection with the Hitzsand also are Hitzlöper , people looking at the beach in earlier times by Bernstein and other flotsam were searching.
In a scientific paper from 1997 the sandbank is called “St. Peter-Ording-Sand ”.
