shifting dune

Surrounded by a beautiful heathland landscape, List on Sylt is home to Europe's largest contiguous area of ​​shifting dunes. They have shaped the List landscape for decades. This special type of dune consists of sand drifts that are continually pushed eastward by strong westerly winds. They can move up to 10 meters per year. The shifting dunes are among the top highlights of the island of Sylt. To protect this unique natural spectacle, it was declared a nature reserve in 1923. From the viewing dune near Mövenbergstraße, you have a wonderful view of the shifting dunes.
Entering the shifting dunes is strictly prohibited.
