Urban flair and rural idyll
Westerland is located in the centre of Sylt and is known as the island`s metropolis due to its lively, urban ambience. In the north, the four towns of Wenningstedt, Braderup, Kampen and List invite you to enjoy a relaxing holiday. The east of the island is more rural and cosy: in addition to Mukmarsch, Tinnum and Morsum, the easternmost village, the green Keitum is an idyllic and authentic Frisian village. The south offers space for just two villages on its long but narrow stretch of land: Rantum and Hörnum. The latter also forms the southern tip of Sylt.
Natural diversity in the smallest of spaces
Sylt is characterised in particular by the diversity of its landscape. The Braderup Heath in the east of Sylt creates a magnificent landscape. The Wadden Sea is considered the counterpart to the stormy North Sea and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009. Covering an area of 450 kilometres, the Wadden Sea National Park with its salt marshes is the largest contiguous mudflat area in the world. The minerals contained in the seawater are also the basis of Sylt's soothing air.
An encounter with the sea is an integral part of a holiday on the North Frisian island. The 40 km long Sylt sandy beach and the unique dune landscape are also well worth seeing. There are currently two mobile dunes, the largest of which is in List. The huge masses of sand were once pushed further and further towards the coast by strong winds from the sea. The harsh North Frisian climate as well as wind and water consistently put the sensitive, less resistant dunes to the acid test.
Exciting activities on Sylt
A wide range of activities awaits active holidaymakers: hiking or cycling on Sylt is an incomparable experience that combines closeness to nature, fresh sea air and scenic diversity. The North Frisian island, known for its characteristic dunes, endless sandy beaches and picturesque coastal landscapes, offers hiking enthusiasts a wealth of opportunities to explore the beauty of nature.
But cycling on Sylt also offers a unique opportunity to explore the island in all its diversity. The flat topography and the well-developed network of cycle paths make the island a paradise for cyclists, regardless of whether you prefer leisurely tours along the coast or sporty routes through the island's interior.
But water lovers will also be happy on Sylt, because whether it's swimming, surfing or sailing, there is plenty on offer for beginners and professionals alike.
The rough North Sea wind and the impressive waves attract surfers from all over the world. A variety of challenges await experts on the western shore in particular - and beginners will find ideal conditions in a calm location on the eastern shore. For those who prefer to just watch: You can witness spectacular stunts at the Windsurf World Cup every year. Those looking for an extraordinary adventure can also try their hand at kitesurfing.
But leisurely SUP paddling, swimming or catamaran tours also provide plenty of variety in the water.

North Frisian cuisine at the highest level
Sylt's cuisine is just as varied as the landscape. Over 200 restaurants invite their guests to experience Sylt's cuisine. The latter is known above all for its delicious combinations of sweet and sour. Mostly regional dishes are served, mainly fish and seafood of course, from plaice, zander and salmon to crustaceans and oysters, Sylt's culinary speciality.
Sylt's wellness culture
Pampering and wellness holidays on Sylt have long since ceased to be an insider tip. The island has upgraded accordingly and created an extensive pampering programme for its guests in the midst of the healthy island climate. A visit to the sauna in one of the five beach saunas along Sylt's west coast is well worthwhile. First you sweat intensively for a short time before the ice-cold North Sea finally awaits as a contrasting programme. In general, a wellness holiday on Sylt promises absolute relaxation and also strengthens the body's defences and immune system.
