Hike through the most beautiful heath landscape of Sylt between Braderup and Kampen with the opportunity to stop for a break at the Kupferkanne and view of the Wadden Sea.

This hike is a purple dream, especially in summer when the heath is in bloom. But the tour through the Braderup Heath also has its own special charm year-round. Due to its location on the east side of the island of Sylt, it's usually less windy than on the west beach, and depending on the weather, you can see across the Wadden Sea to the mainland. Various hiking trails guarantee variety and different perspectives. Definitely a Sylt hiking highlight!

Directions

We start at the parking lot in Braderup and initially walk toward the beach. Shortly before reaching the beach, we keep left on the hiking trail, heading north parallel to the beach. At the small shipwreck, we cross over to the beach for a short stretch before continuing north on the hiking trail. We reach the town of Kampen, and after a few houses, we turn left to reach the Kupferkanne (Copper Can). From here, we continue south again, parallel to the path we've taken so far. We reach Braderup again via boardwalks and hiking trails and follow the "Üp di Hiir" road back to the starting point.
