Sylt

Sylt is an island located in the North Sea off the northwestern coast of Germany. It is the largest of the North Frisian Islands, and the fourth largest German island after Rügen, Fehmarn and Usedom. Sylt is a popular holiday destination for both German and international tourists, and is renowned for its stunning beaches, picturesque villages, and stunning coastal scenery.

The island is connected to the mainland by the Hindenburgdamm, a causeway built in 1927 that is six kilometres long. Sylt has a population of around 20,000 and is divided into two municipalities, Westerland and Rantum. The island is home to numerous attractions, such as the Sylt Aquarium, the Sylt Museum and the Sylt Seal Sanctuary.

Sylt has been inhabited since the Neolithic period, and was first mentioned in written records in the 11th century. During the Middle Ages, the island was part of the Duchy of Schleswig, and in 1721 it was annexed by Denmark. In 1864, Sylt was ceded to Prussia following the Second Schleswig War, and in 1876 it was made part of Germany.

During the Second World War, Sylt was used as a base for German U-boats, and the island was heavily bombed by the Allies. In the decades since the war, Sylt has become a popular holiday destination, and is now home to many luxury hotels and resorts.

Sylt is a beautiful and unique island, with a fascinating history and a wealth of attractions for visitors to explore. Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday or an exciting adventure, Sylt has something to offer everyone.
