Sylt: Beaches and Lighthouse

Highlight • Beach

Sylt is polarizing - some people can't understand what the appeal is. For many, Sylt is the epitome of a holiday in the north - and they keep coming back. And they enjoy it more each time.

June 17, 2025,Tour nach Kampen zum Fahrradparkplatz Uwe Düne

From the bike parking area up to the Uwe Dune, after 110 steps, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view. Continue walking above the Red Cliff and then along the beach to the Sturmhaube (storm hood), then back to your bike.

I drove back on the former railway line, past Wenningstedt in the direction of Kampen. It was particularly crowded today because pedestrians and cyclists have to share this path in both directions.
