Schlüttsiel
Schlüttsiel ( Frisian : Slütsiil, Danish : Slutsil ) is a port named after the Siel of the same name in the district of North Friesland . It belongs to the municipality of Ockholm and is located on the closing dike of the Hauke-Haien-Koog about 2.5 kilometers east of the Hallig Oland .
Schlüttsiel is not a grown place, but consists of a port built in 1959 with a handling terminal and a vehicle loading station as well as a historic sewer building. There is also a restaurant with guest rooms and, since 1980, a visitor center run by the Jordsand Association directly at the car park with information on the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park and bird protection .
Thanks to the sluice and the permanently high water level associated with it, Schlüttsiel was suitable for building a port in the Wadden Sea . Schlüttsiel is the starting point for regular boat connections to the Halligen Langeneß , Gröde and Hooge and - in the summer months - to the island of Amrum . Road connections exist to the south to Husum and Bredstedt and to the north to Dagebüll . Buses run to Bredstedt.
Before 1959, the southeastern Bongsiel , now inland, was the port to the northern Halligen.
