Scenic loop hike on the Red Cliff, Schleswig-Holstein.
This route begins in Wenningstedt and leads through the dune landscape on the Red Cliff to Kampen. A very special highlight awaits here, the Uwe Dune, which is the highest elevation on the island of Sylt. 110 steps on a small wooden staircase lead to the top of the dune, where a viewing platform awaits. It is not uncommon for it to be very windy here, but it offers excellent views of the entire island, the Kampen lighthouse and the Wadden Sea. On the way back, the trail goes along the beach and presents the opportunity to see the red cliffs from a different perspective. The imposing landmark of Sylt's west coast extends over the entire route between Wenningstedt and Kampen.
Highlights:
- Kampen sun terrace
