The Morsumer-Kliff nature reserve is one of the oldest NSG in Germany.

On the way to the 20m high cliff you first cross a heathland where rare plants, reptiles and birds have their habitat.

I drove to Morsum Cliff with Ludwig today and we walked the circular route.

It's a very nice walk above the cliff. Half of the way is a sandy path, which Ludwig was very enthusiastic about.

As always on Sylt, this is a nature reserve and there is a leash requirement there.

In rainy weather the path below is rather unsuitable. We stopped the tour because the path was completely muddy. Extremely smooth and heavy heavy floor!
Ankle deep and smooth mud like silt.
