Sylt

 
Overview

Sylt is a German island in the Frisian archipelago in the North Sea. It’s known for its long beaches, resorts and the Wadden Sea mudflats on the eastern side.

Description

The 1700s Old Frisian House has a thatched roof and exhibits about pre-20th-century island life. Denghoog is a neolithic passage grave filled with giant stone boulders. To the north, Naturgewalten is an interactive ecological museum with multimedia displays.



The star of Germany's North Frisian Islands, glamorous Sylt (38.5km long and only 700m wide at its narrowest point) has designer boutiques housed in reed-thatched cottages, luxury cars jamming the car parks, luxurious accommodation and some of northern Germany’s most acclaimed restaurants.
