    A nice route to get to know the town of Rantum. The narrow waist of the island allows for a view of the calm Wadden Sea to the east and the raging North Sea to the west at some points. Walk past the Sylt Quelle, where the local mineral water is bottled and culture is offered in the summer months, along the Rantum Basin nature reserve, which serves as a breeding and resting place for many birds, as well as through beautiful thatched roof settlements. 

    Author’s recommendation

    A wonderful route for the morning hours, as you can watch the sun rising over the Wadden Sea during the walk. A great motivation and the best energy boost for a successful day.

    Roadbook

    Start at the harbor of Rantum on the dyke heading southwest. To the left, you have a beautiful view of the Wadden Sea and to the right, a small forest. Follow this path until you go through a sheep gate into a residential area. Cross this area and then turn left before the main street into Raanwai. Follow this until the southern exit of Rantum. There, cross the main street and directly enter the narrow dune path opposite. Enjoy this beautiful path until you meet Henning-Rinken-Wai, where you then turn left. After a short distance, this also ends again on a dune path with a wonderful view of the North Sea. Then turn right as soon as you meet the beach path, which leads you back to the town center. Turn left at Stiindeelke, walk this street to the main road where you take the footpath north for a short stretch. Take the next left turn into the street "Am Sandwall." Walk it to the end where there is a traffic light to cross the main road again and walk into the street "Am Torbogen." Now turn left once more and then right again to reach Hafenstraße and return to the starting point at the parking lot.
