Holiday apartments and houses on Sylt

Which sights are there on Sylt?

The Most Beautiful Attractions on the Island

During your vacation in a dreamy vacation apartment on Sylt, you will primarily enjoy the sea and the magnificent beach from a beach chair. The sandy beach of Sylt is 40 kilometers long and stretches with fine white sand along the entire coast facing the open North Sea - perfect for long walks with views of the island's surfers. Here you can swim and enjoy the sun. In most beach areas, access is only possible by paying a spa fee. This fee ensures the maintenance of coastal protection measures and cleanliness. As a guest staying in a private vacation apartment or a luxurious holiday home, you pay a favorable rate for the spa tax, which is added to the weekly price for the accommodation. No spa fee is charged for your dog, making it easier to vacation with your pet. On the east side of the North Sea island towards the sea, there are also several bathing spots. Participate in a guided mudflat hike to learn about the special features of this habitat. The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park is the largest national park in Germany and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are several Wadden Sea protection stations from which the guided hikes start. During the tours, you will learn interesting facts about animals such as mussels, North Sea shrimp, and shore crabs. Here you can observe numerous birds as well as seals and gray seals. The Ellenbogen, as the northernmost part of Sylt, lies north of List, the northernmost village in Germany. The Ellenbogen extends as a peninsula between 330 and 1,200 meters wide into the North Sea. From your cozy vacation apartment, for example in Rantum, Hörnum, Tinnum, Munkmarsch, or Archsum, take a trip back in time on Sylt. Visit the Sylt Heritage Museum in Keitum and immerse yourself in the world of your ancestors. The entrance to the former captain's house alone is worth a visit. It is made from the jawbones of a fin whale. The building itself was built in 1759. The exhibition explains the geological and maritime processes that formed the island and how it has reshaped itself over time. Several megalithic tombs found in the mudflats testify to the first settlements in the Neolithic period. There are ship models and exhibits on whaling. Another section deals with local artists and notable personalities. Also in Keitum is the Old Frisian House. It is a typical building for Sylt in the 18th century with a thatched roof and low rooms. The apartment can be visited and shows an original interior from the time. There is also a museum weaving mill housed here. Those interested can try their hand at weaving on one of the model looms. Other historical sites can be found in the well-preserved churches. St. Niels Church in the village of Old Westerland is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. St. Martin's Church in Morsum is a typical North Frisian island church. It is the oldest church on Sylt. St. Nicolai Church in Westerland is the largest of these buildings on Sylt. Unfortunately, only the colorful stained glass windows are visible today from its originally lavish Byzantine-style interior. Use the less beautiful days of your vacation on Sylt to quietly admire the wonderful churches. From your vacation apartment, the nearest church is surely not far away.
