Hallig Hooge is also called the Queen of the Halligen. The Halligen are extraordinary islands in the Wadden region of northern Germany. They are not protected by dykes and are very low; the inhabitants are used to the islands being flooded 40-50 times per year. So to be safe and dry, the houses are built on so-called warften, little villages built on earth mounds. Hallig Hooge and its nature are truly extraordinary, a calm spot in the midst of a rough sea.
