Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: Blick auf die Backenswarft. Sie steht auf der Hallig Hooge. Die Hallig Hooge ist die zweitgrößte der zehn Halligen im Schleswig-Holsteinischen Wattenmeer. Hallig Hooge ist von einem rund 1,20 Meter hohen Steindeich umgeben und ist dadurch bei leichten Sturmfluten vor Landunter geschützt. Dennoch wird die Hallig Hooge zwei bis fünf Mal im Jahr vollständig überflutet. Die Wohnhäuser stehen auf hohen Warften, damit sie den Sturmfluten widerstehen können. Die Hallig Hooge besitzt zwölf Warften. Die Backenswarft ist die zweitgrößte Warft mit einem Dutzend Gebäuden, die ringförmig den Fething mit Regenwasser umschließen und vor Salzwasser schützen.
English: View to the Backenswarft on Hallig Hooge. The Hallig Hooge is the second largest of the ten islets in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea. Hallig Hooge is surrounded by an approximately 1.20 meters high stone dyke and is thus protected from light storm surges. Nevertheless Hallig Hooge is flooded completely two to five times a year. The Houses are built on high mounds. Therefore they can withstand the storm surges. The Hallig Hooge has twelve mounds. The Backenswarft is the second largest mound with a dozen buildings. The buildings surround the pond with rainwater.
