SYLT, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS NORTH: On the border between Denmark and Germany, 40 km of beaches and dunes, to find your corner of serenity

You start by saying one thing, as a good sailor, which I am. If you want to come in the Island of Sylt, you will have at your disposal at least four days and your own “strandkorb”. Let me explain. The North Sea is ventilated, very breezy, why you is essential that strange wicker chair (in two places), obviously with canopy. I have no idea what more will fascinate you, but you can choose from the moors painted emerald green silence of a small village or a solitary lighthouse. If you do not have a book with you, no problem, you will have  temporary loan, for four days: “The mind of the traveler”, Leeds. https://www.hapimag.com/en/offer/resorts-residences/germany/sylt-westerland-aalborg.html

Among people squatting in the shells of wicker, you will not find Brigitte Bardot, a few years away from her beloved golden dunes. You will see small houses with thatched roofs, the beaches of Samoa and Sansibar. One idea, if your taste, could be that of a trip, on horseback, or by bicycle. You decide. No, you will not find discos and luxurious hotels, but peace, inner peace and quiet. To eat sole, lobster and cod, take note of a place not to be missed, the restaurant Alte Friesenstube, in the oldest house on the island. http://altefriesenstube.de/

If it pleases you (by bicycle or on horseback), we can catch some beautiful photographic image (or drawings, if you have passion), moving between List and Hornum. You’ll see amazing corners, in a landscape of dunes, shrouded by palisades. If you love surfing, take note of a perfect place for windsurfers: Konigshofen. You’ll also see the hotel Fahrhaus (your courage to surprise the cost of a 5 star). For a reminder of the trip, I can take you from Sylter Teeklipper, a workshop of List, between old trunks and model ships. http://nachbarschaft.immobilienscout24.de/adressen/schleswig-holstein,nordfriesland-kreis,list-sylt/shopping/sylter-teeklipper-e-woldt,17480931.html

As you will see, it is easy to recognize the oldest houses: white brick and roof woven reeds. Each, for me, has always been a beauty. At Wasterland, I would take you to the store Maritim Sylt, where you will have a wonderful choice, including sweaters, pants and caps. Coming out, so dress, you will be a real sea wolf. The space granted by Benches Meeting is over, make a note of some practical advice: sleep at affordable price in Sylt, Hotel Windrose (Strandstrasse 19, Wenningstedt); eat at the restaurant Alte Friesenstube (4 Am Gaadt, Westerland). For your clothes catfish? Sylt Maritim (Friedrichstrasse 44, Wwnningstedt). Good luck! Hello, Peter. http://www.lindner.de/en/index_html
