Archsum is the smallest village on the island. Here you can experience a rural idyll and agricultural traditions: sheep graze on green meadows and yellow fields of rape shine in the sky. Old farms and thatched Frisian houses are enthroned on the mounds. There is plenty of space for long bike rides and hikes along the dike. How do you like to say it on Sylt? "Archsum is the green haven of peace on the island." And that's exactly right. From sowing to harvest, from the tender green spring to snow-covered, glittering winter days, between the salt marshes and the sea you will find pure peace and relaxation and yet you are so close to the colorful island life.

Ellenbogen

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Lister Ellenbogen is the northernmost point of Sylt and therefore Germany. It is only four kilometers away from the Danish North Sea island of Rømø - which can be clearly seen when the weather is nice.
The peninsula, which is between 330 and 1,200 meters narrow and 4,500 meters long, belongs to the Listland community of owners and is therefore privately owned. To drive along the Lister Ellenbogen by car, you have to pay a toll or you can explore what is probably the most beautiful part of Sylt on foot or by bike, all free of charge.
The entire Ellenbogen is a huge bird and nature reserve, home to a rich biodiversity of birds, sheep and seals. Jürgen-Wolf Diedrichsen's free-roaming sheep generally have the right of way here. In the middle of the picturesque protected area is the surfing spot Königshafen, which magically attracts kite and wind surfers. This is an ideal area for newcomers to surfing, but veteran surfers also get their money's worth.

Ellenbogen Tip (Northernmost Point of Germany)

Highlight • Beach

Finding the northernmost point is not that easy. This corner is very isolated. It is an advantage if you go there for two.

List West Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The official names of the two lighthouses in the north of Sylt are: "List-West" and "List-Ost" - making them the northernmost lighthouses in Germany. For about 14 nautical miles, the lighthouses show the ships the right course.
