Braderup Heath
Braderuper Heide
A heathland reserve facing the Wadden Sea, where a sea of purple heather in late summer contrasts with the White Cliff trail.
Braderup Heath lies on the northeast side of the island and is one of the largest heathland nature reserves on Sylt. From August to September, great swathes of heather bloom purple, and wooden boardwalks wind through them, extending to the White Cliff (Weißes Kliff) on the Wadden Sea shore, with views of mudflats and seabirds. It is less crowded than the west coast and suits cycling or walking, and the east shore is especially good for watching the sunrise. Entry is free; please stay on the paths.
