"Travel to the Island"

When you travel from Germany to Sylt, you have to take the train from the station of Niebüll.
In about 30 minutes the train takes you and your car over the Hindenburgdamm to the Island.

When you travel form Danmark, you have to take the ferry from the Island of Rømø to List on Sylt.
The ferry is modern and sails fast between the islands

"Staying on the Island Sylt"

Sylt is home to about 21,500 inhabitants, and has eleven villages and one town, and can accommodate 50,000 visitors at a time, and attracts more than 800,000 holidaymakers every year....and has 12,000 second homes. These figures are impressive and tells you that the island has a warm welcome for every one.
Whether you stay in a hotel, appartment, or on a campingsite.

"Nature on the island of Sylt"

Fine sandy beaches in the west, a wide expanse of tidal mudflats to the east. Idyllic countryside between dunes and dykes. Lush green meadows, flowering heathland, and imposing cliffs. Sylt’s scenery is as varied as it is charming, a true paradise for hikers as well as for numerous species of animals and plants. To preserve its unique landscapes, nearly half of the island has been classified a conservation area or nature reserve.

The Wadden Sea lining Sylt’s east coast is one of the island’s most fascinating landscapes. Obeying the rhythm of the tides, the living conditions of the plants and animals inhabiting this zone change every few hours.
In List there is a Natur Erlebniscentrum.

"Beautiful island of Sylt"

I used to live on this lovely island many years ago and have always wanted to return....well after nearly 40 years i did..!!
A lot of change has taken place ...some for the better and some,in my opinion,for the worse.
the Insel Bahn or island train is not running now...my house is also gone....
I remember how friendly everyone was...now the guy in th tourist information office in the Bahnoff was rude and arrogant....what a shame..it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
However i stayed in the reethus guesthouse...it was stunning and the staff were friendly and helpful...thanks to the guy in the Golsh fish restaurant for helping us thru the menu to a great meal...it was fun.I will add some pics when i have time and elaborate a little more.

"Insel Sylt..drain cover.."

Sylt is very smart..even the drain covers are worth photographing.
