Sylt

After we arrived yesterday via Hindenburgdamm, we filled our fridge this morning and then we finally went to the beach. Low tide was at quarter past twelve and in about six hours, so around half past five the tide is back. The west side of Sylt is almost fifty kilometers long sandy beach. I assume that… read more

After organizing the bicycles, only the animal park was planned. Contemplatively small, private and mostly represented by "fowl" in the form of ducks, geese, owls and flamingos. Donkey, kangaroo and goat were also found. Spontaneously we went to the airport and drove past the chocolate factory beforehand… read more

On the cycle highway along the dunes we went to the dog beach to explore the next section of the beach. Today there was less wind than before, at sixteen degrees Celsius and the prospect of spontaneous rain at any time. Shortly before ten o'clock the sun broke through the clouds for the first time! What… read more

Today's plan was the Rantum basin nature reserve. On site, we drove aimlessly in a clockwise direction around the pool. If I had turned my head on beforehand, I would have remembered that the wind was coming from the south-southwest again and that it was a stiff breeze. In numbers, that means wind force… read more

From the fifty kilometers we subtract twenty-five that we cycled to our starting point behind the dune, at the academy by the sea, and back in the evening. Then it started. Full Mett from the side! The wind came from the west today and was stronger than yesterday. The forecast was fifty km/h as a storm… read more

In contrast to Annette, yesterday's tour did a good job for me! That's why I listened to my pillow for another four hours over lunchtime. But then! We went through the pedestrian zone and along the beach promenade. We finally found a Danish soft ice cream 😋.

At some point we lost count of how many showers hit us today, but every time there was a fat rainbow. The wind that came from the west today challenged us the most on the way back. But man gets used to it😜.

Train traffic was stopped today in northern Germany due to sabotage of the radio system, which… read more

Today we're going to do it the other way around. From the forty-seven kilometers we deduct five kilometers that we walked over the Hörnum Odde.

Riding a bike was not at all challenging today as the wind was only 13 km/h. Calm to the hitherto usual thirty to forty km/h! However, I'm a bit overheated because… read more

Today's plan was a final hike from Westerland along the west beach via the Hörnum Odde, the southernmost point of Sylt, to the port of Hörnum. And we ran like hell!

We were already at the beach at nine today and caught the time of the naked bathing beauties. The male mermaids were a little later and not… read more

Of course we weren't completely aimless on Sylt today! Only a little later because the Schietwedder still had to withdraw from the night.

A few days ago we discovered a jam kitchen in Keitum that offered its jams on the street. Since we didn't like the price-performance ratio of twice the price and half… read more

Schietwedder is how you take it!

But when both pockets of a professional rain jacket are full, the fun stops. Luckily the phone didn't get submerged and no, I didn't leave my pockets open! 🤪

In the morning we had to postpone the start a bit because the night's skidding still took a while. But then we… read more

Even though the weather turned out to be much better than predicted, we really wanted to go to the aquarium before we left. Then a farewell to the beach and that's it.
