Listland Wandering Dune

Highlight • Natural Monument

Most of the dunes are planted today so they can not move. An exception is Listland, where today is the only and last moving dune in Germany. Due to the constant westerly winds, the unvegetated sand mountains are blown further and further to the east. The largest of the dunes moves up to seven meters a year.

Ellenbogen

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Lister Ellenbogen is the northernmost point of Sylt and therefore Germany. It is only four kilometers away from the Danish North Sea island of Rømø - which can be clearly seen when the weather is nice.
The peninsula, which is between 330 and 1,200 meters narrow and 4,500 meters long, belongs to the Listland community of owners and is therefore privately owned. To drive along the Lister Ellenbogen by car, you have to pay a toll or you can explore what is probably the most beautiful part of Sylt on foot or by bike, all free of charge.
The entire Ellenbogen is a huge bird and nature reserve, home to a rich biodiversity of birds, sheep and seals. Jürgen-Wolf Diedrichsen's free-roaming sheep generally have the right of way here. In the middle of the picturesque protected area is the surfing spot Königshafen, which magically attracts kite and wind surfers. This is an ideal area for newcomers to surfing, but veteran surfers also get their money's worth.

First we took the cutter to the seal beds and tried a freshly caught oyster. Then with the bike to the elbow and reunited at the Vogelkoje in Kampen with my wife, who couldn't take part in the last two tours.

The northernmost point in Germany... And then on a sooooo great beach... Awesome... This tour takes several hours without a bike, on foot... I'm fascinated. 😊

Did the tour again in the sunshine today 😊☀️
There were completely different perspectives 😉
Beautiful landscape, still a bit gloomy at this time, due to the dark dunes.
Unfortunately, the beach sauna only opens in April. 🧖‍♀️
The Elbow is a great natural area for birds and sheep (which tend the heather).
Across the dike to List, the tour …

This tour includes extensive beach walks. With comfortable water shoes you can go in the mudflats, in the saddle and also on the beach, where the deep sand provides a peeling of the feet, which after several km can exceed the pleasant!
