Courtyard building in Karolinenkoog

The community is predominantly structured agriculturally. Most of the Dithmarscher cabbage and potatoes are grown there. Smaller service companies are based on site. In Karolinenkoog there is a hotel with various leisure facilities.

traffic

The Koog is cut in the west by the federal highway 5 , on which the district towns Husum ( North Frisia ) and Heide , as well as the federal highway 23 (Heide - Hamburg ) can be reached.

From August 22nd, 1877 to 1940, Karolinenkoog owned a railway connection to Heide from a jetty on the Eider , which mainly served the residents of Tönning to quickly reach this town. Today Karolinenkoog can be reached via the Tönning station ( Husum – Bad St. Peter-Ording line ) on the opposite side of the Eider.
