Rantum dunes / Sylt​

Schleswig-Holstein

The Rantumer Dünen / Sylt are a nature reserve in the Schleswig-Holstein communities of Sylt and Hörnum (Sylt) in the district of North Friesland .

The approximately 397  hectare nature reserve is registered under number 78 in the directory of nature reserves of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Areas. It was expelled in 1973 (date of regulation: February 28, 1973). The nature reserve borders in the north on the nature reserve " Baakdeel-Rantum / Sylt " and in the east on the nature reserve " North Frisian Wadden Sea ". It is part of the FFH area "Dune landscape Sylt-Süd" and the EU bird sanctuary "Ramsar area Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea and adjacent coastal areas". The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the district of North Friesland.

The nature reserve is located between Rantum and Hörnum on the island of Sylt . In this area, it protects the dune landscape over almost the entire width of the island. In the west, the nature reserve is bounded by the seaward foot of the edge dune, in the east by the mid- tide high water line in the Wadden Sea . Individual areas within the dune landscape that are used are excluded from the nature reserve. These include the fenced-in area, which is used by the United States Coast Guard as a marine radio station, and the Puan Klent youth recreation center in Rantum, as well as a parcel in Hörnum.

In October 2011 the nature reserve, which is looked after by the Söl'ring Foriining-Sylter Verein , was declared a national natural heritage .
