Sylt

Sylt is an island in northern Germany, part of the Nordfriesland district of Schleswig-Holstein, with a distinctively shaped shoreline. It belongs to the North Frisian Islands and is the largest in North Frisia, as well as the northernmost island in the country. It is known for its resorts (Westerland, Kampen and Wenningstedt-Braderup) and for a beach running some forty kilometres down its western side. The island is reached by a causeway carrying trains, and the wind off the North Sea is a permanent feature.
