The North Cape on Sylt is also Germany's northernmost point of land, at least since it came from Denmark to Prussia 150 years ago. Our hike around this sand peninsula, covered with marram grass and reed grass, is an absolute must for nature-loving Sylt visitors.

    Sehr schöne Tour und so auch erlaubt. Nicht von der Straße abkommen, dort ist Naturschutzgebiet und man wird wieder ‚eingefangen‘… Am Strand mehr Zeit einplanen, da der Sand sehr tief ist und nicht fest wie am Weststrand. Landschaftlich sehr reizvoll, aber keine Bänke!

    Wunderschöne Tour, entlang am Königshafen mit einem kurzen Abstecher an den Strand. Es schließt sich ein wunderbarer Dünenweg an, leider nicht vorbei an der Wanderdüne.

    Sehr schöne Runde um die Landzunge. Interessant sind u.a. die Strömungen direkt an der Landzunge. Hier mischt sich das Wasser der offenen See mit dem des Königshafens. Baden ist hier lebensgefährlich.
