Hornum

Among the coastal towns of Schleswig-Holstein, Hörnum stands out for occupying Sylt’s narrow southern tip between the North Sea and the Wadden Sea. Its western beach faces the open sea, while the eastern shore meets tidal flats within the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea. The harbour provides sea connections to neighbouring North Frisian islands and Halligen, underlining Hörnum’s role in this maritime region. Built in 1907, Hörnum Lighthouse remains a well-known landmark above the dunes. Shifting sand, coastal winds and the changing tide define the character of this southern end of Sylt.
