Rantum and Hörnum - The South End of  Sylt

The most interesting part of Rantum is the small harbor on the Watt.

A few people live south of the  harbor in a new construction area.

Youth Hostel or Clinic

The Lighthouse in Hörnum is Impressive

My wife, Angela, joined me for a visit 2 weeks later.

Next to the harbor was a place for catamarans.

The biggest attraction in the harbor is Willi, a female sea lion that has lived there for many years. A small stand sells food for Willi.

South of the city is a trail that heads to the end of the Island. Here, Horst is posing with my bicycle south of the lighthouse.

A few meters further south and the asphalt changed to sand.

A small whale was sighted at this beach.

Rantum - New Homes

There are a few playgrounds in Rantum, but mostly next to schools.

The Area Between Rantum and Hörnum is mostly Dune Landscape

Street Lights Suddenly Appear

Karin, Horst and Gertrud joined me for a day in Hörnum.

The Harbor in Hörnum was especially attractive.
Here the Adler tourist ship is returning from the south.

To the left of the harbor is a small beach with a lifeguard.

We left the harbor to go to a coffee shop about 100 meters away.

Yours Truly. Horst and the ladies came on the bus. I rode my bike.

On the Beach

Just a couple of years ago, this lookout extended into what is now the ocean. Wind and erosion wiped out all except part of the stairs.
