Traditional thatched-roof house on Mere-Hoog, Morsum

Nice and quiet location, but interesting to walk through

Morsum, a quiet and picturesque village in the east of the island of Sylt, offers a variety of attractions and activities that will delight nature lovers and culture visitors alike. One of the most famous highlights is the Morsum Cliff, an impressive natural monument that reveals layers of earth up to ten million years old. The cliff is a paradise for ornithologists and hikers as it offers numerous hiking trails that lead through heathland and unique animal and plant habitats.Another cultural highlight is St. Martin's Church, the oldest church on the island, built in the 13th century. The church impresses with its simple architecture without a massive tower, which gives it a special aura. In summer, organ concerts are regularly held here, making a visit worthwhile.For lovers of regional products, a visit to the Hansenhof is a must. Here, visitors can purchase fresh eggs, homemade jams and liqueurs, as well as other local delicacies. The Hansenhof is particularly famous for its egg liqueur, which is offered in various varieties.Nature lovers should explore the Katrevel, an area with several small lakes that is a refuge for many species of birds. The wooden jetty and benches invite you to relax and watch birds or have a picnic.If you want to relax after a day in nature, the Morsum bathing area is an ideal place to swim and sunbathe. In summer, beach chairs are even set up here, and swimming is possible when the water is high.

"Nature lovers should explore the Katrevel, an area with several small lakes that is a refuge for many species of birds.

It is located west of Archsum and at the end of Keitumer Koogstraße, where the conservation station is located in the old pumping station.
