A varied tour through the southern forest and the dune landscape in the south of Westerland with a view "over the edge" as a stopover.

An ideal route for runners who live in Westerland and want to jog through nature without having to drive. After just a few minutes along the Südwäldchen (Southern Forest), you reach the expansive dune landscape, through which you run up a small incline to the beach crossing at the Strandoase (Strand Oasis). Strengthened by the ocean view, you return to a section of the Sylt Run that leads to the Südwäldchen (Southern Forest). Through one of the island's few forests, along a small pond, you return to the Sylt Stadium and thus the starting point.

Directions

From the starting point, walk onto the footpath and cycle path that runs directly between the aquarium and the Sylt Stadium. Follow this path south, past the Südwäldchen (Southern Forest) and the campsite. Behind the Südwäldchen (Southern Forest), turn left across the parking lot toward the main road. Walk along the footpath and cycle path for about 300 meters until a narrow dune path branches off to the right. Use this path to walk through the beautiful dune landscape. Continue straight ahead without turning until you reach a parking lot, from which a wooden walkway leads to the beach. Use this path for a look "over the edge." Turn back at the sea, walk back along the wooden walkway, and then keep right at the fork in the path by the parking lot, which will take you back across a parking lot to the footpath and cycle path along the main road. Follow this path along Süderstraße and only use the second entrance into the Südwäldchen (Southern Forest). This path will then lead you back to the Sylt Stadium, from where you only have to walk a few meters on the footpath and cycle path familiar from the beginning towards the starting point and finish.

Our tip

If you don't mind walking on sand, you can walk directly along the beach. However, you'll have to climb Sylt's highest beach steps to get there. Please bring your guest card with you. This will be checked at the beach crossings.
