Blauort

It is surrounded by the sandbank of Blauortsand, which is bounded to the north by the creek of the Wesselburener Loch and to the south by the Piep.

According to the Schleswig-Holstein National Park Office in Tönning, Blauort, like the sandbank of Tertius to the south, belongs to the parish of Hedwigenkoog.

The islet of Blauort is migrating steadily eastwards, like all sandy islands on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein.

Blauort is one of the few, largely unspoilt habitats on the coast and of great importance for seabirds and common seals,[3] Since 1985 it has been part of protection zone I in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park.

In the summer months, guided mudflat walks of the Blauortsand are offered which depart from Büsum and Wesselburen.
