Uwe Dune

Top choice in Schleswig-Holstein


Stunning Uwe Dune, at 52.5m, is Sylt’s highest natural elevation. You can climb the wooden steps to the top for a 360-degree view over Sylt and, on a good day, to neighbouring Amrum and Föhr islands. It's signposted along the main road the village of Kampen.
