Sylt Beach

Highlight • Beach

A Genoa at any time of day and at any time of year! Sometimes rough, sometimes gentle and smooth. The North Sea always has something to offer

Himmelsleiter Stairway, Westerland

Highlight • Viewpoint

Imposing, beautiful wooden staircase in Sylt-Westerland that leads to the beach with a fantastic view.

Some information from insel-sylt.de/address/himmelsleiter:
"The name of this plank staircase in the south of Westerland says it all. With a height of 26 meters, the highest staircase on the island offers an indescribable panoramic view of the beach, sea and Westerland after 95 or 105 steps (from the beach side). Each step brings you a little closer to the long-awaited view. Once you reach the top, out of breath, the reward is at least as breathtaking as the climb itself.
Tip: Around the viewing platform at the top, seven display boards illustrate facts about the flora, fauna and geology of the island."

It's a bit hazy. But: "Sylt is always nice, because the great Sylt climate, yes, that's so healthy. For mom and dad, for the kids and the dog...."
... in March in Friesennerz and in May as Nackedeei...
Sylt is always beautiful, Sylt is always beautiful...."
In this sense...

Today it was Westerland's beach promenade.
As expected, the number of holidaymakers was higher than in previous years. From the direction of the Himmelsleiter we went past the 1970s sins and the music shell in the direction of North Westerland.
On the way back a band played in the music shell and entertained the people.
The whole hustle and bustle …

What a wonderful day 🥰 let your soul dangle, charge the battery, let the wind blow through, watch porpoises and on the way back a beautiful view of the mud flats and sunset seen from the train 🌊🌞🤩
Always worth a trip 👍🏼
