TJEN DI BIIKI ÖN - On February 21st we drive away the winter with the Biike.
Along the North Frisian coast, large bonfires are lit in many towns. According to tradition, these bonfires were once used to bid farewell to sailors who set sail in the spring. Evil spirits are also said to have been driven away by the high flames...
The meeting point in Wenningstedt is the Frisian Chapel, where everyone stocks up on torches, warm soup, and mulled wine. Then everyone heads toward Biikeplatz, where, after speeches in Frisian and High German, the Biikehaufen (fire pile) is finally lit. In Braderup, the procession begins at the Biikefeuer (fire bonfire) at the Weißes Kliff Hotel.
The Easter Bunny hides Easter eggs in the sand - join in the big Easter egg hunt on Wenningstedt beach!
In two areas, children search for colorful plastic eggs, divided by age group. These can then be exchanged for Easter treats or small non-cash prizes.
Children up to 10 years old can participate. Spades, shovels, etc. are not required.
The Wenningstedt Village Pond Festival is a highlight among Sylt’s village festivals.
