Saddle of pork (Schleswig-Holstein)
The pork back is a mudflat between the Hallig Langeneß and the island of Amrum . It is surrounded by the north marshland fairway in the east, the mudflat Marschnack in the north, the Norderaue in the northwest and the fairway Schweinsücken-Durchfahrt in the south. The Süderaue runs further south .
The area used to belong to the Wiedrichsharde .
The area usually dries out at low tide and is then populated by seals in summer . Together with the Marschnack, the pig's back protects Langeneß from flooding .
