    Wide sky, wide sea. In the south of Sylt you can walk for miles along the dam that separates the Rantum Basin (a brackish water lake) from the North Sea. It was originally built in 1936/37 on behalf of the Wehrmacht - it was intended to serve as an air base for naval aviation for the Luftwaffe. Today the Rantum Basin is a valuable nature reserve.
