Oland (Danish: Øland, North Frisian: Ualöönist) is a small hallig which is connected by a narrow gauge railway to the mainland and to hallig Langeneß. In 2019, the population was estimated, unofficially, to be 16 people.[1]

Germany's smallest lighthouse is located here, being also the only one with a thatched roof.
