North Sea with children - family holiday on Sylt

North Sea with children - family holiday on Sylt
This family's experience:

Activities: We explored the dunes surrounding the hostel. We walked through the dunes to reach the beach. The dunes are part of the Nationalpark Wattenmeer and are a core protection area. We saw wooden figures warning not to enter the dunes, smoke or leave trash

Highlights: The children enjoyed the quiet and the beauty of the dunes. The dense vegetation absorbs all noises and it's incredibly quiet. The children enjoyed seeing the rabbits and the wooden figures. We were able to find a way to the beach through the dunes ✨
