There are many holiday destinations in Germany. But hardly any is likely to be as unique as the islands in North Frisia. A very special one among these islands is Sylt. You simply have to love Germany for the beautiful holiday island with its thatched-roof houses. The North Sea has special tides with ebb and flow. The sea washes its waves onto beautiful sandy beaches. Visitors can relax in a unique way in the dunes. But the sea also takes a piece of Sylt's land every year. A part of it disappears again and again. The island's cliff is washed away and carried into the sea. So the island gets smaller year by year. Although the country has taken defensive measures and is having sand replenished, the island will one day disappear completely into the sea.
Just like Venice, beautiful Sylt will one day no longer exist. Perhaps this is why the island enjoys such a special attraction as a holiday destination. Many guests find their way to the island every year. They enjoy the special atmosphere on the island in holiday homes or beautiful hotels. The beautiful sea offers the best conditions for both surfers and swimmers. Children can collect shells. Freshly caught fish and North Sea crabs are available in the harbour. This also provides guests with culinary delights. In general, the island offers its guests very special food. No other place in Germany has so many star chefs in such a small area as the island of Sylt. The beautiful dunes offer many windless spots where you can retreat with a good book. But you can also do this directly on the beach. In a specially constructed beach chair, guests have a good view of the sea and can enjoy their time. There are few beaches in the world that create the kind of atmosphere that you can find right here.
Many guests return to North Friesland year after year for precisely this reason. Those who cannot afford a hotel in beautiful Sylt can also find affordable accommodation in a guesthouse on the mainland. During the day, the islands can be visited by ferry. Sylt is also well connected by rail. You can even take your car over to the island by train. Many people take advantage of this opportunity for a wonderful holiday. The view of the sea provides a very special kind of relaxation. Anyone who appreciates this type of holiday will find this quality of relaxation nowhere else in the world. You simply have to love Germany for holiday opportunities of this kind. Even those who already have a favourite beach should not miss the opportunity to visit North Friesland.
The choppy sea offers a very different kind of relaxation. The beaches are also not as crowded as in many southern countries. Incidentally, the island was populated several thousand years BC. Stone Age graves can be found on the North Frisian Islands. Later, the Frisians and Vikings settled on the island. The legendary Rungholt was swallowed by a storm surge in its day and offers a myth reminiscent of Atlantis.
