    Around and through Sylt's sunny south and the small Smurf settlement with its small enchanted thatched-roof houses located in the dunes.

    A route with small ascents untypical for Sylt, but with a lot of sea views. You get to know Hörnum almost completely on this route, only the harbor should be explored afterward once again. The Kersig settlement is a cluster of small thatched-roof houses that fit perfectly into the hilly dune landscape. The view from there over the southern tip of the island, the lighthouse, and the neighboring islands Föhr and Amrum surely makes you briefly forget the effort of running.

    Roadbook

    From the car park, a narrow winding path leads up the dune to the Breizh restaurant. To the left of this, a narrow path takes you directly into the Kersig settlement on the Nielsglaat. Follow this until you can turn right onto a narrow dune path that leads you past the Kap Horn restaurant to the Süderende. Follow this road until the Odde-Wei turns right towards the lighthouse. Do not follow the road up the dune, but choose the paved sandy path straight ahead into the woods. You then come out on the promenade at the east beach, where you can run to the next left turn with a fantastic view :) The street "An der Düne" becomes the street "Im grünen Tal" and brings you back to the Kersig settlement. After a short stretch to the right on Lorenz de Hahn-Wei, turn right again on the narrow path to Breizh and down to the car park at Strandweg.
