background

It is just below the village Dagebüll in the North Sea. Located further north Foehr, in the West Amrum and in the south Pellworm, the Hallig Hooge and the Hallig Gröde. Langeness is around 10 km long in the west-east direction and up to 1400 m in the north-south direction.
getting there
The journey to Hallig Langeneß inevitably takes place almost always by ship via the harbor 1 Schlüttsiel
, there is no airfield on the Hallig. Then it goes on ...
With the ship from Schlüttsiel
From the ferry terminal in Schlüttsiel there is a direct ferry connection to the 2 Investors the Hallig Langeneß with the WDR (Wyker steamship shipping company).
- Car ferry "Hilligenlei": The 38 m long ship was built in 1985 in Husum. The ferry was named after the terp of the same name on the Hallig Langeness. The ferry can carry up to 30 cars and an additional 300 people. The motor ship reaches up to 10 knots (= 18 km / h). The passenger deck with great views and sheltered from the wind is located above the car deck at the rear between the chimneys. In the belly of the ship there is a saloon where you can eat.
There is also the option of taking the ferry from Dagebüll to Föhr or Amrum. From there you can take an excursion boat to Langeness. However, this variant is quite time-consuming because the connections are not coordinated with one another.
With the Lorenbahn from Dagebüll
Of Dagebüll (Train station) runs one non-publicLorenbahn via Oland to Langeness. Only overnight guests of the Hallig Oland can use the transfer with the Lorenbahn to the mainland after consultation with the landlord.

So please don't press the hosts.

The Hallig map at the ferry terminal warns "Attention cyclists: in a headwind, the route is three times as long".
- hike - If you feel like it, you can also discover the Hallig on foot. Some of the banks are secured with barriers, the paved parts of which can be walked. One such section is the stony coastal protection from the ferry pier to the lighthouse. However, no data are available for the entire Hallig coast.
