The Rantum Basin is a highlight for all ages. Especially the many sheep grazing leisurely and standing on the trail. For my daughter, it's the best thing ever 🐑🐑

The trip around the Rantum basin has almost become a tradition.

It's just nice to drive here.

I show even more photos of Sylt on my website radtour-fotos.de/sylt
