Sylt, North Sea island in Nordfriesland district, Germany
The 40-kilometer-long island features extensive sandy beaches, steep cliffs, and dunes along both the North Sea and Wadden Sea coasts.
The Hindenburgdamm railway causeway, constructed in 1927, permanently connected Sylt to mainland Germany, transforming the island into a major tourist destination.
The St Severin Church in Keitum, dating from 1240, stands as an important religious structure featuring medieval frescos and maritime decorations.
Visitors can access Sylt by train via Hindenburgdamm, by ferry from Danish ports, or through Westerland Airport with connections to major German cities.
The Morsum Cliff reveals geological layers spanning millions of years, displaying distinct red, white, and brown striped sedimentary formations.
