Sylt is an island in the North Sea, next to the border with Denmark. By train to Westerland. By car to Niebuell, then on a train shuttle to Westerland or to Romo (Denmark), then by ferry to List/Sylt. The ferry is cheaper, the car train is very expensive! Drive south from Westerland along the west coast. After some km there is a parking lot with a restaurant Sansibar. Take the parking lot after this one.
Watch out for the current.
Small nightlife in Kampen and Westerland, mainly in summer.
