Sylt is a German island located near the mainland in the harsh North Sea, at the level of Denmark. Its light has a special charm, and much of its territory remains completely wild. Its western side boasts a vast, 40 km-long beach with little urban development.
The island features distinctive and beautiful architecture. Although its small capital, Westerland, is more urbanized, Sylt still preserves charming villages such as Kampen, Keitum, and Hörnum. It is an ideal place for cycling or horseback riding, where time seems to stand still.
It is probably Germany’s most exclusive summer destination, designed by and for Germans (you won’t find anything written in English here). However, if you're looking for a warmer climate, this may not be the right place for you.
SHOPS
Shops and restaurants in Sylt are not just simple commercial spaces but entire houses decorated with exquisite taste, especially in Keitum.
If you visit the island, don’t miss KASTENHUBER, where our handbags are sold. It is definitely worth a visit.
