Where should we stay
by kgraves
I am going with a group to Germany for the World Cup in June/July 2006. We have some time to spare and would like to travel around Germany. I have found a beautiful place called Sylt - in particular, Kampen.
I would like some help in finding a place to stay in this town (Kampen) or anywhere else which would be good to see. We are aged between 24-28 so something fun and outdoors is good.
I have found plenty of general information on Sylt but am having trouble with accommodation.
Thank you for your help.

Sylt is a classical vacation island. I guess most Germans book there when departing already for the next year or between Christmas and New Year. And if it comes to vacation appartments etc. in such places, they are normally not interested at all if guests want to stay only short. Maybe if the have a gap of a few days - but this is exactly what they like to avoid.

You can also send Kampen tourist office just a mail with your request

There are also 3 youth hostels on Sylt, but not directly in Kampen.

I wouldn't recommend Sylt. It's very expensive and people are kinda snobby. U should better go to Sankt Peter-Ording! It has a huge beach and you can do all kinds of surfing there (Kite, Wind, Buggy,...). Besides, it is cheaper and camping is no problem and all. You could even do a day-trip to Sylt as it is only 2-3 hours far away as u are interested in the little island.
Further visits should be done to Hamburg, of course! It's one of the most beautiful towns in Germany!!!When you will be going to the south be sure to have a short stay in Celle - its oldest parts are over a 1000 years old and there are beautiful old framework buildings and a nice castle in the center. Just browse these pages to get an impression:

(just click on the link "Strand" ---> "Sportarten" and you will find all possibilities.) Maybe you also wanna do a "Wattwanderung" which is a trip to the banks within the tide. It's hard to explain so just check this page and decide on yourself whether you are interested in it or not: http://81.169.188.201/tzspo-strand/wattenmeer-stpeterording-nordsee.html
I hope this was some sort of help. If you would like to have more recommendations just post it. Also if you would like some tips for the south (Munich, region of Frankfurt etc)!
Cheers,
Chris
