Photo Gallery - The Island of Sylt, Germany

From Birge Amondson, About.com

The island of Sylt is the northernmost tip of Germany, famous for its beaches, thatched-roof houses and spectacular dune landscape. The west side of Sylt meets the waves of the North Sea, while the east side faces the quiet Wadden Sea. On a sunny day, you can see Denmark from here.

Sylt is also well-known for its nude beaches; after all, the island established the first official nude beach in Germany in 1920.

Take a tour over the island now, and enjoy photos of Sylt's beauty.
