List auf Sylt

List auf Sylt extends across 18 square kilometers at the northern tip of Sylt island, featuring sandy beaches along the North Sea coast point.

The settlement endured significant changes after the great flood of 1364 destroyed the original village, leading to its reconstruction further east from the coastline.

The municipality preserves North Frisian traditions through local festivals and maintains both German and Danish kindergartens for educational diversity in the community.

Visitors can reach List auf Sylt through ferry connections to Rømø island or by taking the train via Hindenburgdamm causeway to the Sylt mainland.

The area contains Germany's only commercial oyster farm and includes two lighthouses, List West and List Ost, marking the northernmost point of the country.
