Things to do in  Sylt

Ellenbogen—meaning “elbow” in German—is quite literally an area shaped like an elbow, located on the northernmost tip of the island of Sylt, which boasts unspoiled natural beauty. This wild landscape features grassy dunes, pristine beaches, and lighthouses. Ideal for a scenic escape from city life, you can cycle, hike, or relax on the beach, while enjoying the serene surroundings.

The Church of St. Severin is one of the most famous landmarks on the island of Sylt. Dating back to the 13th century, this Lutheran parish church displays Romanesque and Gothic architectural features such as a baptismal font that dates back 1,000 years and a 15th-century altar. Along with coming here for worship, visitors flock for the regular organ concerts.
