The official names of the two lighthouses in the north of Sylt are: "List-West" and "List-Ost" - making them the northernmost lighthouses in Germany. For about 14 nautical miles, the lighthouses show the ships the right course.

Red navigational marker on Sylt

Highlight • Monument

The path is really corrosive for hikers. Only cars and cyclists. And pure asphalt. But the beach on the Wadden side is unfortunately closed.

We wanted to do this tour for days. Due to the icy wind that lasted for days, we had to postpone it. Today, with less wind and some sun, we did the tour.

Just 2 tips: Apply sunscreen or dress well, with protective vegetation things are a bit thin on Sylt, as are the toilets on the tour, which were only available at the beginning

Today it was Germany's northernmost point. I took the bus to List Weststrand and then I started looking. The scenery at the elbow is terrific, including the beach.
