Hörnum Weststrand

Not only in summer does the southernmost beach sauna get its guests sweating: hidden in an idyllic dune valley, a cozy Finnish log cabin awaits. A narrow path leads directly to the nudist beach, so the North Sea is just a few steps away after the sauna session.

The varied event program of the Hörnum Tourism Service offers entertainment for young and old – from children's theater and painting courses to harbor festivals and Low German theater performances. A visit to the nature center of the Wadden Sea Conservation Station is also worthwhile: in addition to exciting exhibitions, there are guided mudflat hikes for children as well as ornithological tours.

Comfortable passenger ships depart from Hörnum Harbor for exciting excursions. Discover Sylt's neighboring islands Amrum and Föhr, the Halligen, or even the offshore island Helgoland! On a trip along the seal banks, you can observe the animals up close – and during "sea creature catching," experience which fascinating marine inhabitants the trawl net brings to the surface. And since sea air is known to make you hungry, numerous restaurants in Hörnum invite you to indulge – with fresh fish and regional specialties on the menus.

A real highlight – in the truest sense of the word – is the Hörnum Lighthouse. With a ticket, visitors can climb the approximately 33-meter-high tower, which stands atop a 17-meter-high dune and offers a breathtaking 360-degree view. You can also say your vows up here in the airy heights – a unique place for an unforgettable wedding. For more information, contact the Sylt Registry Office at Tel. 04651/851252.
