nördlichste deutsche Nordseeinsel im Kreis Nordfriesland

AI overview

Sylt is Germany's northernmost island, located off the coast of Schleswig-Holstein, and is known for its popular tourist resorts and sandy beaches. The island frequently makes news due to its vulnerable position in the North Sea, where it experiences ongoing land loss during storms, though it has been connected to the mainland by a causeway since 1927.
