Sandy attractionThe Kampen Dunes are unique. And Sylt's highest elevation, offering a complete panoramic view, is located in the heart of Kampen: the Uwe Dune. It's the highest elevation on the entire island and overlooks Kampen: The Uwe Dune measures an impressive 52,5 meters and was named after Sylt native Uwe Jens Lornsen (1793-1838).
The Keitum native, of whom the island is proud, was a lawyer and freedom fighter who championed human rights and liberal thinking, became a government official, and eventually, for a short time, Sylt's governor. He traveled the world, wrote the "Union Constitution of Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein" in exile in Brazil, and took his own life on Lake Geneva in 1838. Today, he is considered an illustrious pioneer of the modern constitutional state.
A 109-step wooden staircase leads to the viewing platform on the Uwe Dune, where binoculars provide a perfect overview of the island and complete the spectacular panoramic view. Sometimes, as the children of Kampen say, you can "even see as far as England on the left." And almost always, as far as Denmark on the right.
