    The Lister Ellenbogen is the northernmost point of Sylt and therefore Germany. It is only four kilometers away from the Danish North Sea island of Rømø - which can be clearly seen when the weather is nice.
    The peninsula, which is between 330 and 1,200 meters narrow and 4,500 meters long, belongs to the Listland community of owners and is therefore privately owned. To drive along the Lister Ellenbogen by car, you have to pay a toll or you can explore what is probably the most beautiful part of Sylt on foot or by bike, all free of charge.
    The entire Ellenbogen is a huge bird and nature reserve, home to a rich biodiversity of birds, sheep and seals. Jürgen-Wolf Diedrichsen's free-roaming sheep generally have the right of way here. In the middle of the picturesque protected area is the surfing spot Königshafen, which magically attracts kite and wind surfers. This is an ideal area for newcomers to surfing, but veteran surfers also get their money's worth.

        I do not need to write that the elbows are the northernmost point of Germany. So if you want to get on your elbows, this is only on the private road, which is free for pedestrians and cyclists. The road itself is in some places not places not so very well and in the last area single track so take a little care and take care. On the elbow itself there are highlights as the two lighthouses, the elbow mountain and the northernmost point to be mentioned in any case, but there are many other things to discover. You also have to point out that bathing is forbidden here. There are very strong currents that you see at the northern tip where two currents meet each other mostly with your eyes.
