On the five North Frisian Islands off the North Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein, the tides determine the pace of life: for flora and fauna as well as for people. The larger islands of Nordstrand, Pellworm, Amrum, Föhr and Sylt are protected from the force of the sea by dikes and offer a variety of cycling and hiking trails for exploration. The North Frisian Islands offers you a unique vacation in the middle of the Wadden Sea and nature.
