Off the West coast of Schleswig-Holstein in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park lies the island of Föhr - in close proximity to the islands of Sylt, Amrum and the North Frisian Halligen islands. A mild climate prevails here due to the island's protected location and the warm Gulf Stream. Long expansive beaches, green marshland, idyllic Frisian villages and the small town of Wyk characterise the island. In the summer months, long walks along the beach or across the Wadden Sea mudflats provide a welcome break from the daily routine before settling into a roofed wicker beach chair overlooking the sea to relax. Throughout the rest of the year in the spring, autumn and winter, you can enjoy relaxing peace and tranquillity on the island, while reading, taking advantage of numerous wellness offerings, hiking or simply doing nothing. A bicycle ride across the green island and through the picturesque Frisian villages with their thatched cottages, or a small stroll through the town of Wyk with its many little shops and cafés is always worthwhile. The island of Föhr covers 82 square kilometres, measuring 12.5 kilometres in length and 8.5 kilometres in width. It is home to approximately 8500 inhabitants, who live in the town of Wyk and the island's sixteen small villages.
