Discover the Lister Ellenbogen, the northernmost point in Germany! This unique region captivates with its diverse landscape, impressive biodiversity, and fascinating history – an absolute highlight on Sylt that you simply must experience.
Be inspired by the unusual shape of the Elbow , which looks like an angled arm, especially impressive from the air. Embark on a journey of discovery and experience the breathtaking nature anew each time. A walk around the northern tip will take you past dunes, lighthouses, and sheep . Look out for the maritime wooden sign at the edge of the dunes – here you are actually standing at the northernmost point of Germany!
The entire Ellenbogen peninsula is a protected bird and nature reserve , providing a home to many bird species, sheep, seals, and marine life in the Wadden Sea. Here you can experience the centuries-old tradition of sheep farming in List on Sylt firsthand. The free-roaming sheep are part of the unique landscape and always have the right of way – so be careful when they cross the roads!
Windsurfers and kitesurfers will find the perfect spot for their fast-paced sport on the beaches of List. The fact that beginners and professionals alike will find something to enjoy here is part of its special appeal. On the west coast, the sea shows its rougher side and presents even experienced surfers with a real challenge. The calm southern side of the Ellenbogen peninsula, on the other hand, is ideal for beginners. The shallow and peaceful waters of the Wadden Sea are perfect for trying out water sports for the first time.
On a sunny day, enjoy the sweeping view of the Danish island of Rømø , which is less than four kilometers away. At Ellenbogen, a spectacular natural phenomenon awaits you . Here, the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site meets the open North Sea. As the tides ebb and flow, over 500 million cubic meters of water move back and forth, creating impressive eddies and strong currents. Remember: Swimming is prohibited here due to the dangerous conditions.
