Uwe Dune
Uwe-Düne
Sylt's highest point, a dune summit about 52 metres above sea level with a viewing platform offering a 360-degree panorama of the North Sea, Wadden Sea and red cliffs.
Uwe Dune lies north of Kampen, about 52.5 metres above sea level, and is the highest point on Sylt. It is named after Uwe Jens Lornsen, a 19th-century politician who championed North Frisian autonomy. From the car park, climb more than 100 wooden steps to reach the summit viewing platform, which takes in the North Sea to the west, the Wadden Sea to the east, the red cliffs to the south and the lighthouse in the distance. It is excellent for sunset. Entry is free, but keep warm, as it can be windy.
