There are two birdwatching huts on the Lüttmoor Dam, from which you can enjoy a fantastic view of the salt marshes and saltwater lagoons and observe birds. The hut by the exhibition hall should not be entered during the breeding season to avoid disturbing the birds.

Very nice viewing hut. Overlooks a headland in the water near the hut, so if you sit for a while you can see all kinds of waders passing by. Also seen and special ducks. Also after the hut, towards the mudflats, there is water on the right with land nearby, giving you a good view of various birds from the road. Eagle also seen. In July...

You can also observe the birdlife outside the hut. But it's perfect in bad weather and usually not too crowded.
