One of the most popular destinations in Kampen is the Red Cliff. A 52-meter-high cliff stretching between Kampen and Wenningstedt, it has served as a landmark for sailors for centuries. Take a walk along the cliff and learn about its geological features. Even in the colder season, when the weather slowly cools down, such a walk in the iodine-rich sea air is beneficial. A visit at sunset is especially recommended, as it appears as if the cliff is truly bathed in red light.

Absolutely also from below, from the beach side view. Here you can see the expectation of a cliff confirmed (at least mine) and see through the contrast with the bright sand, why the cliff is called the Red Cliff. If you are lucky enough that rain has rinsed the earth on the bright sand, I recommend stepping barefoot into the wet, loamy lint. That's where the difference can be experienced. The feet are quickly released from the mud in the sea water.

One of the most beautiful corners of Sylt. Personally, I prefer the view from above the cliff. The structures and colors of the sand are just wonderful to look at.
