@@theemirofjaffa2266Remember that Denmark was a neutral country that on top of that had been massively disarmed by having lost many previous semi-recent wars, for having the misfortune of being forced to side with the losing alliances, as a result of being attacked by members of the winning alliances, such as by Sweden, by Prussia, and by Great Britain. When Germany invaded Denmark in WWII, Denmark had to send their Royal guard to the German border from the other side of the country, on bicycles no less, which would have taken at least 23 hours to reach, and on top of that, leave the capital city undefended.

The German North Sea coast has big tidal differences in water level. During low tide, you can reach most islands on foot as the water recedes far enough to bare the sea floor. It´s called "Wattenmeer" in German and has been made a national park.
Considering that a boat is not very helpful without enough water and you don't want to wait hours (or if the storm comes from east it could even be days) for enough water it seems a pretty nice thing to use a train instead. 😂
Born in Groningen, the most north-eastern part of the Netherlands. I love this area close to Germany and Denmark. Even the dialects sound like each other and the skies are so bright blue!
There are plenty of Halligen in Germany and Denmark. If you google the word Hallig you ll find plenty of information. Same when you search for it here on YT. ndr-Doku has several good documentaries about some of them with great videos of them getting flooded. Obviously in German, but it still looks amazing.

They didn't build it in the times when the island had only 16 inhabitants. Besides, it is mentioned in the video that the railway wasn't originally intended to be used by the locals, it was built for other purpose and the mayor had to negotiate with the federal government so the islanders could use it.
The original purpose of the "railway" (when it was constructed the trolleys were "powered" by sail and to this day "Kapitän Magda", a sutler frequently providing the island with wares from the main land, with her sail-trolley-kiosk is a well-known half-legendary figure) was to bring building material and supplies to Langeneß, the next island over, which in that time had around 200 people living on it. What the former "mayor" meant by negotiating access is that he managed to get permission for private indivuduals on the islands to own and drive trolleys on the railroad. Since that time each stretch of the journey (main land to Oland and Oland to Langeneß) has a prominent half-way marker, before which you need to turn around in case of oncoing traffic and after which you have the right of way.
@@Vysair No wonder, Frisians, Angles and Saxons are the ancestors of the English people. All people in the north of Germany and in Denmark are very similar to the English people..

Didn't know such place exist. Its always a dream of mine to live in a place where you can see oceans and many trees everyday so it's really fascinating for me to know that this place exist. I would love to volunteer living here.
They even need people to move on the Hallig, to old man said. They have no children in there and everyone moves away, so there are not many people living there anymore. Everyone who truly wants to live there is welcomed 😊
THIS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF ! But seriously that's so spirited away lol. Edit: Now that I think of it, the way the place floods and the railway going through water is exactly like it's in Spirited Away no way that's coincidence!
Speech works in context, the same word can stand for different things. The word population implicates people. However in math a missing variable is a wrong answer therefor this joke gets -1 times funnier every time you think bout it
Right? I mean... I visited a village here for a project and I really didn't want to go back to the city... It was calmer, cooler (as in temperature), less noisy, peaceful.. I really enjoyed my two months there... And now I'm looking at how to move to someplace as that or close to something like that..
This is so close to the Netherlands, it's exactly the same landscape and the same people living there. There's virtually no difference. I don't know why people always say that Only The netherlands are so flat, it's literally the whole region.
@@henriw7700 Yes and no. Only the Netherlands really lie for about 1/3rd of our country below sea level. The houses on the Hallig lie above sea level.... In Denmark and North Germany only small areas are below sea level. The word dike is a english loanword from the Dutch language, and for a good reason :-)
@@henriw7700 Well. I mean. Not really. Yes, the area around the Netherlands is flat, and yes of course this is closeby so it makes sense. However, I wouldn't consider any other country as flat as the Netherlands because for example, Belgium and Germany have mountains in other areas, while the Netherlands are flat throughout the whole country. Denmark is similar in that sense, but what Koen G says, it's not as low. Fun facts: the cause of half our country being below sea level-not just flat like Denmark-is a combination of reclaiming land ("poldering") and drying the peatlands. This caused the few (peat) hills that we did have to fall below sea level too. Hence, the name of our country (Netherlands) literally means "the low-lying lands".
I come from Malta. We have an island here that has only 3 residents, which is called Comino. It's surrounded by the clearest of seas I've ever witnessed.
@@Goodguy507 I'm not from Comino. I'm from the largest island of the archipelago (Malta). I only know who one of the residents is, as he was featured on Nas daily. His name is Salvu Vella, and he pretty much is like the manager of Comino.
I've never been to Oland but I visited a lot of the islands closer to the shore. Rough sea, harsh landscapes, little red brick houses and sheep. Due to the unique conditions there are species of plants and animals that only exist in this particular region. It is absolutely beautiful so I can only imagine what it must be like in Oland.
@@Miristzuheiss die bbc ist schlimmer als unsere Öffentlich-Rechtlichen. Das problem ist: durch die Zwangsfinanzierung können sie senden was sie wollen, unabhängig von Qualität und nachfrage. Stetig mehr werbung trotz stetig wachsender einnahmen. Es ist so als müsste jeder in deiner stadt bei dir brot kaufen, ob sie es essen oder nicht. Die qualität des brotes wird sicher nicht besser. Das ist passiert mit bbc und ör bei uns. Es mag mal hin und wieder gute inhalte geben, allerdings nicht die masse. Und zudem haben diese sender mittlerweile eine eigene politische agenda, statt tatsächlichen Journalismus betreiben zu wollen. Daher haben wir auch im westen rekordtiefstände was das vertrauen in medien allgemein angeht. In england war das vertrauen um den brexit herum bei 20%... Also nur jeder fünfte vertraute der Berichterstattung. Das ist der arbeit dieser sender zu verdanken.

Es sind nicht die tatsächlichen journalisten vor ort, dokumentationen oder bildende inhalte, die die örs so viel kosten.

It might seem weird if you haven't been on an island like this but it certainly does have something magical to it. I've been on a Hallig once for a week and I've been to one of the east frisian islands a couple times over the course of the past 4 years or so. In the beginning I was quite sceptical. I didn't know what I was supposed to do there. There's literally nothing. A mini version of your local supermarket, made to sustain a dozen people, a couple of houses, on the bigger islands maybe even some tourist attractions but that's it. When I went there, I went there because I was working with youth groups. It was financially covered and I had a lot of fun with the kids there. But on our way to our hostel we saw all these elderly people who also came to this island. And I asked myself "why the hell would someone want to come to this island? It is EMPTY" But my last visit to Spiekeroog (which was literally last weekend) somehow changed the way I view these islands. Like the woman in this video described, it is a place where you can just relax. Your worries and stress just fades away. The walks on the beach, the wind, the birds, all the sounds, the smell of fresh air, the grass, the water - when it all comes together you feel one with nature again. You get time to think about things you probably wouldn't have had the time for in your normal environment. You walk and walk and walk and don't even realize how far you've gotten because you've been thinking about stuff. It's even better when you grab a couple of friends with you. When it's daytime you joke around, do dumb stuff and so on but when it gets dark everybody gets a little calmer. If you're lucky enough you'll get to see a beautiful pink sunset and after that the many stars in the clear sky. Complete darkness, except for the stars, the lighthouses and the red lights on all the wind turbines. You sit down on a bench with your friend and talk for a while while enjoying the beautiful view. It is weird but it has something very relaxing and soothing to it. If anybody has the chance to experience this kind of isolation I'd strongly recommend it! English is not my first language, so feel free to correct any mistakes!
I see what you mean and it sounds like something I would enjoy and need. But living there? For instance: You have to work. That will be quite complicated to do.
@@ankavoskuilen1725 Right. I've only visited the island and have not lived there. Visiting it is great but living there - i don't know. That's a challenge for itself and though I'm not really informed, I'd guess that it would be quite the struggle at first.
@@ankavoskuilen1725 depends on what you do for work. As a software engineer I can (and do) quite literally work from anywhere in the world as long as I have a decent internet connection. The company I work for is around 5hrs drive away from where I live. I worked while I was on the other side of the globe visiting family. With things like starlink (essentially SpaceX sending up thousands of satellites around the globe to provide internet access to most of the globe) earning money on the island wouldn't be a problem for me.
Ich muss in meinem früheren Leben wohl mal ein Norddeutscher gewesen sein, weil ich mich so derart hingezogen fühle zu diesem Land...immer noch...Wonderful!
When they were showing the waterline and houses not even a minute into the clip, I thought, “Is this in the North Frisian area?” and I was right. As an American, I got to ferry onto the bigger island to the left (when they showed the map at 1:03) called Föhr in 2016 when I was traveling Northern Europe by myself before studying in Ireland. My family immigrated from the island in the 1860’s. I got to stand in front of the house they left. The crazy thing is, all these islands used to connect to the mainland way way way back (history super rough, around the 1200’s?). It’s a super beautiful area.
yes very beautiful. In 19th century the living there was very hard and people very poor. A lot of frisians emigrated to the Americas. And 8000 years back it was mainland connected with England.....
S D I think one of the factors that made my family go was the enlistment during the Prussian War. They were doing that classic break your right hand and anything else so they wouldn’t have to fight.
@@shannonhawkins2739 migration happened, happens and will happen in the future. In the 19th century and beginning century over 5 million germans emigratied into the USA. Most because of the poverty or because of war.
Always interesting to hear family stories like this. When your ancestors left the area, the majority of the population was still Frisian. Nowadays, the Frisians are almost completely assimilated, the Friesian language has been replaced by German (or the Low-German dialect).

I live in a community of 660 people, by the water, wild woods behind my house. It's the second biggest community for 400 km. It's so quiet and peaceful, I hardly ever hear a car, my cats have wild land to play in. Even in the daytime, the only man made sound you can hear most of the time is the voice of children playing. It reminds me of this video, except there's more woods. It breaks my heart to see these communities shrivel and die. People who spend all their lives in big towns and cities can't understand what they're missing. Best of luck, Oland! I hope you survive.
I know this comment might be a joke, but incase anyone is curious; In a settlement, the bigger the population, the more anonymity there is, while the smaller a population is, the more familiarity(and community) there is
The settlement is on a hill (usually artificial) and ideally doesn't get flooded. The land that is flooded in winter is farmed usually farmed für the rest of the year. From Wikipedia: "Not very many people live on the Halligen. Their livelihoods are mainly based on tourism, coastal protection, and agriculture. This last activity mainly involves raising cattle in the fertile, often flooded, salt meadows." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halligen?wprov=sfla1
I hope the population grows; that those who grew up here have children who return. The world needs places like this, where people can find solitude and fulfillment. An effort could be made to preserve the track and infrastructure.

Maybe he got his inspiration from that place

Maths teachers: "A population of 16 what? Potatoes? Carrots?"
Love your comment. Thats my humor XD
My science/math teacher back in primary school little used to say exactly this haha
it's about people I think
Thanks for the flashback ._.
Speech works in context, the same word can stand for different things.
The word population implicates people. However in math a missing variable is a wrong answer therefor this joke gets -1 times funnier every time you think bout it

I really enjoyed my two months there... And now I'm looking at how to move to someplace as that or close to something like that..

"Living underwater, the land defying the ocean" *laughs in Dutch*
This is so close to the Netherlands, it's exactly the same landscape and the same people living there. There's virtually no difference. I don't know why people always say that Only The netherlands are so flat, it's literally the whole region.
@@henriw7700 Yes and no. Only the Netherlands really lie for about 1/3rd of our country below sea level. The houses on the Hallig lie above sea level.... In Denmark and North Germany only small areas are below sea level. The word dike is a english loanword from the Dutch language, and for a good reason :-)
@@henriw7700 And, we don't think of a 4 hour trip to Denmark as 'close'. Close = less than 100km away. That's how we feel it.
@@henriw7700 Well. I mean. Not really. Yes, the area around the Netherlands is flat, and yes of course this is closeby so it makes sense. However, I wouldn't consider any other country as flat as the Netherlands because for example, Belgium and Germany have mountains in other areas, while the Netherlands are flat throughout the whole country. Denmark is similar in that sense, but what Koen G says, it's not as low. Fun facts: the cause of half our country being below sea level-not just flat like Denmark-is a combination of reclaiming land ("poldering") and drying the peatlands. This caused the few (peat) hills that we did have to fall below sea level too. Hence, the name of our country (Netherlands) literally means "the low-lying lands".

FJ ES1982 der bbc wird hoffentlich bald das geld entzogen, von den guten engländern
@@kloschuessel773 warum hoffentlich
@@kloschuessel773 verstehe ich nicht warum? BBC ist der beste europäische Sender
@@Miristzuheiss die bbc ist schlimmer als unsere Öffentlich-Rechtlichen.
Das problem ist: durch die Zwangsfinanzierung können sie senden was sie wollen, unabhängig von Qualität und nachfrage. Stetig mehr werbung trotz stetig wachsender einnahmen.
Es ist so als müsste jeder in deiner stadt bei dir brot kaufen, ob sie es essen oder nicht.
Die qualität des brotes wird sicher nicht besser.
Das ist passiert mit bbc und ör bei uns.
Es mag mal hin und wieder gute inhalte geben, allerdings nicht die masse.
Und zudem haben diese sender mittlerweile eine eigene politische agenda, statt tatsächlichen Journalismus betreiben zu wollen.
Daher haben wir auch im westen rekordtiefstände was das vertrauen in medien allgemein angeht.
In england war das vertrauen um den brexit herum bei 20%...
Also nur jeder fünfte vertraute der Berichterstattung.
Das ist der arbeit dieser sender zu verdanken.
Die bbc verzerrt zum beispiel in Dokumentationen und lerninhalten für kindern zum Beispiel geschichte. Warum? Eigene ideologie der verantwortlichen.
Wie bei uns, sollte man sich mal fragen, ob man die 20€ im monat für die ör zahlen will.
Und für was.
Immer daran denken...
Es sind nicht die tatsächlichen journalisten vor ort, dokumentationen oder bildende inhalte, die die örs so viel kosten.
Und wie gesagt... wir haben quasi Korruption innerhalb dieser sender, die sich relativ klar zeigt. Die Berichterstattung ist gestreamlined und die präsentierten meinungen stark begrenzt.
Dazu kommt dann die arroganz, dass man sich selbst als leitendes Instrument einer dummen Bevölkerung sieht, der man nicht alle inhalte zeigen oder das bilden einer eigenen meinung zutrauen kann.
Die Qualität der bbc und ör hat einen beeindruckenden absturz erfahren.
Sieh dir mal zb die alten interviews oder dokus beim ör an und vergleiche sie mit denen heute.

It might seem weird if you haven't been on an island like this but it certainly does have something magical to it. I've been on a Hallig once for a week and I've been to one of the east frisian islands a couple times over the course of the past 4 years or so. In the beginning I was quite sceptical. I didn't know what I was supposed to do there. There's literally nothing. A mini version of your local supermarket, made to sustain a dozen people, a couple of houses, on the bigger islands maybe even some tourist attractions but that's it. When I went there, I went there because I was working with youth groups. It was financially covered and I had a lot of fun with the kids there. But on our way to our hostel we saw all these elderly people who also came to this island. And I asked myself "why the hell would someone want to come to this island? It is EMPTY" But my last visit to Spiekeroog (which was literally last weekend) somehow changed the way I view these islands. Like the woman in this video described, it is a place where you can just relax. Your worries and stress just fades away. The walks on the beach, the wind, the birds, all the sounds, the smell of fresh air, the grass, the water - when it all comes together you feel one with nature again. You get time to think about things you probably wouldn't have had the time for in your normal environment. You walk and walk and walk and don't even realize how far you've gotten because you've been thinking about stuff. It's even better when you grab a couple of friends with you. When it's daytime you joke around, do dumb stuff and so on but when it gets dark everybody gets a little calmer. If you're lucky enough you'll get to see a beautiful pink sunset and after that the many stars in the clear sky. Complete darkness, except for the stars, the lighthouses and the red lights on all the wind turbines. You sit down on a bench with your friend and talk for a while while enjoying the beautiful view. It is weird but it has something very relaxing and soothing to it. If anybody has the chance to experience this kind of isolation I'd strongly recommend it!
English is not my first language, so feel free to correct any mistakes!
I see what you mean and it sounds like something I would enjoy and need. But living there? For instance: You have to work. That will be quite complicated to do.
@@ankavoskuilen1725 Right. I've only visited the island and have not lived there. Visiting it is great but living there - i don't know. That's a challenge for itself and though I'm not really informed, I'd guess that it would be quite the struggle at first.
@@ankavoskuilen1725 depends on what you do for work. As a software engineer I can (and do) quite literally work from anywhere in the world as long as I have a decent internet connection. The company I work for is around 5hrs drive away from where I live. I worked while I was on the other side of the globe visiting family. With things like starlink (essentially SpaceX sending up thousands of satellites around the globe to provide internet access to most of the globe) earning money on the island wouldn't be a problem for me.
@@Abstract852 Yes, I think that although 11 months ago we already were in lockdown, never again going to work was still inconceivable for me. 🙂

When they were showing the waterline and houses not even a minute into the clip, I thought, “Is this in the North Frisian area?” and I was right. As an American, I got to ferry onto the bigger island to the left (when they showed the map at 1:03) called Föhr in 2016 when I was traveling Northern Europe by myself before studying in Ireland. My family immigrated from the island in the 1860’s. I got to stand in front of the house they left. The crazy thing is, all these islands used to connect to the mainland way way way back (history super rough, around the 1200’s?). It’s a super beautiful area.
yes very beautiful. In 19th century the living there was very hard and people very poor. A lot of frisians emigrated to the Americas.
And 8000 years back it was mainland connected with England.....
S D I think one of the factors that made my family go was the enlistment during the Prussian War. They were doing that classic break your right hand and anything else so they wouldn’t have to fight.
@@shannonhawkins2739 migration happened, happens and will happen in the future. In the 19th century and beginning century over 5 million germans emigratied into the USA.
Most because of the poverty or because of war.
Always interesting to hear family stories like this. When your ancestors left the area, the majority of the population was still Frisian. Nowadays, the Frisians are almost completely assimilated, the Friesian language has been replaced by German (or the Low-German dialect).
They're only staying there because of the titans beyond the walls.

I feel blessed in that my connection is with nature and not people. I really don't need people for my emotional happiness, but I do need nature. This place would be paradise for me.
That's me. Nature is 100X more important to me than humans.
I live in a community of 660 people, by the water, wild woods behind my house. It's the second biggest community for 400 km. It's so quiet and peaceful, I hardly ever hear a car, my cats have wild land to play in. Even in the daytime, the only man made sound you can hear most of the time is the voice of children playing. It reminds me of this video, except there's more woods. It breaks my heart to see these communities shrivel and die. People who spend all their lives in big towns and cities can't understand what they're missing. Best of luck, Oland! I hope you survive.

Well not so much nature, artificial island, mount in the center. Come November when the storms come in with level 12 you have a great time.
On the contrary, your sociability will be challenged / needed even more the smaller the town is.
As an introvert i would love to live there and get away from the city.
I know this comment might be a joke, but incase anyone is curious;
In a settlement, the bigger the population, the more anonymity there is, while the smaller a population is, the more familiarity(and community) there is
So what's the urgency of living there when it gets flooded every week in winters ??
You don't live there, only 16 people do after all. Consider that people also live in Siberia even though it's rough af.
The settlement is on a hill (usually artificial) and ideally doesn't get flooded. The land that is flooded in winter is farmed usually farmed für the rest of the year.
From Wikipedia:
"Not very many people live on the Halligen. Their livelihoods are mainly based on tourism, coastal protection, and agriculture. This last activity mainly involves raising cattle in the fertile, often flooded, salt meadows."
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halligen?wprov=sfla1
A moment of solitude. May they live longer and bring more people into such a beautiful and seemed friendly community.
I hope the population grows; that those who grew up here have children who return.
The world needs places like this, where people can find solitude and fulfillment.
An effort could be made to preserve the track and infrastructure.
