August 25, 2024,Wanderung um die Odde

Our goal was to walk around the Odde in Hörnum. Under a bright blue sky, we walked along the beach and noticed how the wind was getting stronger - we walked in silence until we reached the crossing. We walked through the isolated thatched-roof houses to the mudflat side. And were surprised by the Hörnum Spit - several semi-circular stretches …

June 24, 2025,Hörnumer Runde - 24.06.2025

Last day and still a stiff breeze. No matter. Off to Hörnum and a walk on the beach. From the harbor towards the southern tip, also called Odde. Barely around the southern tip it got a bit damp from above. Further along the beach and against the wind. Past the tetrapods to Landfein beach restaurant. This section can only be …

The loop around Hörnum is always exciting. Above all: The sand is constantly changing. On the sea side it is rather coarse-grained, at the tip of the island it becomes finer, and on the mudflat side it is very fine. And the light changes too - what a beautiful day.

July 2, 2025,Nordsee: Sylt - Hörnum und Südspitze 🥾

The last stop on our North Sea island hopping trip was Sylt. Since the catamaran was still being repaired, we couldn't get to Hörnum (Sylt) by sea via Amrum, but instead sailed from Föhr to Dagebüll. 🚢 There we took the train 🚆 to Niebüll, then a regional train 🚉 to Westerland, and then the bus 🚌 to Hörnum in …

January 28, 2023,Wanderung auf Sylt - Hörnumer Odde

Unfortunately the weather wasn't that good today!
The short hike therefore went from Hörnum Nord through the dune belt to the east side and on to the harbor and the lighthouse. A crab roll was a must at the Hörnum port. The next destination was the southernmost point of the island of Sylt on the Odde. It got a lot …

This hike is very varied. It takes in the beach, a bit of countryside, the harbor, and the southern tip. It's also simply fantastic!

December 13, 2021,Südkap Hörnum und umzu

From Westerland it went by bus to Hörnum Nord. First it went to the east side and through the dune landscape to Hörnum.
The south of Sylt is a family paradise, there is a lot to offer in the season.

Weather:
When Sylt is visited at this time of the year, it can be cloudy and drizzle accompanies you.
