Executive summary by darmansjah
Sylt is an island in
northern Germany, part of Nordfriesland district, Schleswig-Holstein, and well
known for the distinctive shape of its shoreline. It belongs to the North
Frisian Islands and is the largest island in North Frisia. The northernmost
island of Germany, it is known for its tourist resorts, notably Westerland,
Kampen and Wenningstedt-Braderup, as well as for its 40 km long sandy beach. It
is frequently covered by the media in connection with its exposed situation in
the North Sea and its ongoing loss of land during storm tides. Since 1927, Sylt
has been connected to the mainland by the Hindenburgdamm causeway. In latter
years, it has been a resort for the German jet set and tourists in search of
occasional celebrity sighting.
Sylt is connected to the German mainland by the
Hindenburgdamm, a causeway with a railway line on top. The passenger trains
connect Westerland to Niebüll or Klanxbüll, and there is also the option of
taking one's car onto the train at Niebüll. Furthermore, Ferry services to the
nearby Danish island of Rømø exist. Beyond, Sylt Airport serves the region.
