September 8, 2021,#359 Sylt: List-Ellenbogen Runde

The elbow - one of the landmarks of Sylt. In private hands, a toll road leads to the northernmost tip of Germany; it is free for bicycles and hikers.

The way from List along the dike is fantastic, but the landscape at the Elbow is one more thing. Great sand, water, sea and waves invite kite athletes, SUPers and bathers.

He had a quick nap and was completely relaxed despite the many walkers.
