The Kampen Art and Culture Trail
Max Frisch, Emil Nolde, Thomas Mann, Ernst Rowohlt and many more. Already in the past, numerous artists from the international mainland were drawn to Kampen on Sylt. They stayed on the island for some time or made Sylt their new home. The impressive nature with its changing light moods inspired their ideas for art and culture and stimulated the exchange among the artists. The Kampen Art and Culture Trail sees itself as a tribute to the many painters, publishers, writers, musicians, poets and thinkers who worked in Kampen on Sylt and continue to inspire people to create their own creative works to this day. Walkers can discover their lives and work along the Kampen Art and Culture Trail by means of quotations and brief information on the 32 bronze cast plates. Further details about the creative personalities are accessible via a QR code at the sites. Those who want to listen to exciting anecdotes from the lives of artists in Kampen or learn more about the history of the artists' village should join a tour led by Thomas Landt. Several times a month, the Kampen artist guides interested visitors in an entertaining way along the art and culture trail through the picturesque artists' village and its surroundings.
