Hardly a day goes by on Sylt without events, happening and appointments. But what is really worthwhile? We have taken a close look at 10 events on Sylt.
New Year's bath
The best remedy for a New Year's hangover: the ice-cold North Sea. Be there when 120 swimmers plunge into the water on January 1st in Wenningstedt. The partly absurd outfits of the participants do not help against the cold, but definitely lifts the mood. If you want to join the swim yourself, you must register in advance at the Tourismus Service Wenningstedt.
Biikebrennen
In February, one of the most popular traditions on Sylt takes place. During the "Biikebrennen", the people of Sylt throw torches onto huge piles of wood scattered all over the island. The "Biike" consists of christmas trees from the previous christmas. With this ritual, the people of Sylt drive away winter. Afterwards, people meet in the island's restaurants to eat kale.

If you still haven't had enough, you can join the bonfire with live music at Buhne 16 in the evening of the second day - for the second long night.
