Sights in Sylt

  1. Denghoog

    The best of Sylt's Stone Age graves are in the family-oriented resort town of Wenningstedt. You can enter its 4000-year-old Denghoog, next to the town church, which measures 3m by 5m and is nearly 2m tall in parts. The outer walls consist of 12 40-tonne stones. How Stone Age builders moved these is a Stonehenge kind of mystery.

  2. Erlebniszentrum Naturgewalten

    List's newest attraction is the whiz-bang Erlebniszentrum Naturgewalten, a state-of-the-art ecological museum dedicated to the North Sea with multimedia exhibits that keep both kids and adults entertained (especially on rainy days). It's housed in a vivid-blue 'wave'-like building powered by renewable energy including solar.

  3. Altfriesisches Haus

    Keitum was once Sylt's most important harbour, which is recalled in its late-Romanesque sailors' church St Severin, with its Gothic altar and chancel, and heritage-listed gravestones in its cemetery; and in the historic Altfriesisches Haus.
