List Shifting Dunes
Wanderdünen Listland
Germany's largest group of shifting dunes. The white dunes, up to 35 m high, move several meters east each year, resembling a small desert.
The shifting dunes south of List are the only large, bare, moving dunes left in Germany. They are about 1 km long and over 30 m high. Pushed by westerly winds, they move east about 3–4 m each year, creating a landscape like a small desert. The dunes are a nature reserve, so walking on or climbing them is prohibited. You can only view them from designated wooden trails and viewing platforms, or from the road and cycle path between List and Kampen. They can be combined with List harbor and the Nature Experience Center on the same day.
