Our tips for sightseeing
This is what you can see, discover & experience in Munkmarsch:
Munkmarsch Harbor
Sylt's former gateway to the world.
Even in the 19th century, before the railway embankment was opened in 1927, Munkmarsch was a hub of Sylt life. All tourists to the island had to arrive via Munkmarsch harbor. Back then, passengers traveled from the Danish port of Hoyer to Munkmarsch by steamship or ferry. From there, guests were transported to the popular seaside resorts by horse-drawn carriage or, later, by the island railway. Today, the former main port is a private marina, home to many of the islanders' boats. Idyllic beaches border the harbor, and opposite is the legendary Sylt Ferry House.
The Munkmarsch harbor combines tradition and modernity – the association preserves the maritime history and strengthens the community of the island of Sylt.
The Bridge of Lies in Munkmarsch is a silent witness to times gone by, where the stories of the sailors and the imagination of the islanders met.
Bridge of Lies
in Munkmarsch
The small but imposing bridge between Keitum and Munkmarsch is the most beautiful bridge on the island. Simply because its location, with its direct proximity to the mudflats, is unique. From here, you have a wonderful view over the Sylt landscape and all the way to the harbor in Munkmarsch. On a clear day, you can even see as far as Morsum. How did the Bridge of Lies get its name? In the past, when the bridge was built much more unstable, parents would try to motivate their children to be honest with a trick (or rather a lie). They tried to convince them that the bridge would collapse if they told lies. Today, this magical spot is a popular tourist destination.
