Hörnum is located at the southern tip of the island. The “Hörnum Odde” offers a unique outdoor experience, where tidelands and the open sea come together. Spotting seals and porpoises is not a rarity and ships depart daily from the harbour to take visitors to the seal colonies and the islands of Amrum and Föhr, which on a clear day can also be seen from the beach.
With a bit of luck, you might be able to meet “Willi” or “Wilhelmine” at the harbour – the seal that lives right in the harbour and often comes when you call. Here you also have the opportunity to buy crabs directly from the cutter. Gorgeous beaches and fragrant roses all around.
Everything is watched over by the red and white lighthouse, which is definitely worth the climb – to dive into Sylt’s history or to tie the knot in close company. Love with a view.
The apartment is peacefully and centrally located in a newly designed residential street. The harbour, the beach, shops, restaurants and bakeries with the island’s best cakes are only a few minutes away on foot. Feel at home in day to day, cheerful village life, take a stroll through the harbour flea market and cheer on participants at a sailing regatta. If you are underway with children, the vast Oststrand (East Beach) with its shallow sea shelf is a real holiday paradise.
And for those who would like to know more about what they have discovered at the beach or on the tidelands, the Wadden Sea Conservation Station is an exciting destination.
It doesn’t matter from which point of the compass you’ve come – in Sylt’s south the views are always sunny.
I hope that the description appeals to you and look forward to being able to welcome you as my guests.
