Westerland, Germany - City Overview and Airfare Information

Westerland

Westerland (Danish: Vesterland, Frisian: Wäästerlön) lies on the North Sea island of Sylt and is Germany's northernmost town. Only the smaller communities of List, Wenningstedt and Kampen – none an incorporated town – lie farther north in Germany. Westerland belongs to the Nordfriesland district in Schleswig-Holstein. It lies about 70 km northwest of Husum, 74 km west of Flensburg, 134 km northwest of Kiel and 186 km northwest of Hamburg.

Economy

Westerland's economy is very strongly oriented towards the island's tourism industry. In 2002, Westerland was second after Sankt Peter-Ording in importance to Schleswig-Holstein's tourism industry: 96,120 guests, of those 271 (0.28%) from abroad, booked 819,935 overnight stays. The town had 9,159 beds available for this purpose. In the town's south end is a campground. For the island of Sylt, Westerland forms a centre for supply, retailing and service providers for inhabitants and visitors throughout the island.

Transport

Sylt, and thereby also Westerland, cannot be reached by road. Instead, there is a shuttle train that carries cars, known even in German as the Sylt-Shuttle, running between Niebüll and Westerland. The railway line, called the Marschbahn, runs across the 11.3 km-long Hindenburgdamm, a causeway across the Wadden Sea joining Sylt to the mainland. Passenger trains, both local and long-distance, also serve Westerland, reaching it across the causeway. Westerland may also be reached by air through Sylt airport, and by car ferry from the nearby Danish island of Rømø.
