Rantum - Hörnum Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very good asphalt. Not as wide as between Westerland and Rantum, but it should be two meters. Rolls very well. The landscape is beautiful. dunes and heather. Partial view of the North Sea.

Final tour of this year's stay on Sylt. Visited every place at least once by bike. Often started from Morsum, where we booked our accommodation for the first time. Put the bike on the luggage rack twice and chose a different starting point. Keitum and the route from Westerland to List (including Rantum basin) once again stood out in terms …

We took a quick look around the harbor before continuing on foot to the southernmost point of the island, Hörnum Odde. We had a fantastic view of the islands …

If you are already on Sylt, you want to have stopped at the SANSIBAR just because of the hype 😎

So we saddled up the chickens and, under less than nice weather conditions, set out for "high society". At the entrance we were greeted with a certain HUGO 🍸 before we went inside.
