    On this small circular route around the tip of the Ellenbogen, you are very close to nature. Seals and migratory birds can be observed during the beach walk. The well-known red and white lighthouse rises in the background from the dunes. The Sylt ferry on the way to Rømø or List can also be seen. No wonder this place is also often used as a filming location for (advertising) films.

    Author’s recommendation

    The Königshafen at the end of the route is a popular surfing area for wind and kite surfers. With good wind, jumps can be observed here.

    Safety information

    Swimming is prohibited at the Ellenbogen due to strong currents and hence life-threatening danger!

    Dune protection is island protection - please only enter the dunes via the designated paths.

    Throughout the Ellenbogen, dogs must be kept on a leash due to free-roaming sheep.

    If you encounter a seal on the beach, please keep at least 200 meters distance.

    Roadbook

    We start at the parking lot at the eastern lighthouse of the Ellenbogen and first walk a short stretch through the dunes northward until we reach the beach. Here we keep right and follow the coastline along the beach around the northern tip. We walk until we reach the Königshafen and then return to the parking lot via a short path.

    Equipment

    Most of the route is along the beach, so windproof clothing and shoes suitable for sand are recommended. In summer, walking barefoot is possible.

    Since there are no places to eat at the Ellenbogen, sufficient drinking water and possibly a snack should be taken along.
