Discovering the beautiful and diverse island of Sylt is perfect on a bicycle. On a 125-mile-long (200-kilometer-long) network of cycle paths, you can experience unique landscapes such as picturesque heath, spectacular cliffs, miles of sandy beaches, huge bird sanctuaries and unspoiled dune landscapes. The cycle paths also take you to the very north of the island, where you can visit the northernmost point of Germany.
In this Collection, we show you five beautiful circular routes on Sylt, which take you to every corner of the island. They are between 11 and 35 miles (18 and 56 kilometers) long and take you to the very north, south and east of the island. We’ve included a ride around the Rantum basin and a trip to the middle of the island as well. Sometimes the route takes you over the dunes, revealing views over the Wadden Sea and sheeps grazing happily. You will mostly cycle along well-maintained gravel paths or the old island railway line through the untouched nature .
On the way, you will also pass romantic lighthouses, thatched old Frisian houses and cozy beach bars where you can take a relaxing break. In the harbors along the bike routes, you have the opportunity to taste Sylt’s culinary specialties. If the charm of a certain place tempts you to stay longer or if the wind is too strong, you can hop on one of the island buses back to the starting point. Even if the weather slows you down, sunshine is always around the corner when discovering Syly by bike.
