The Theeknobs (also Theeknob ) is a sandbank west of the Amrumer Odde , the northern tip of the island of Amrum , and southwest of the Hörnum-Odde , the southern tip of the island of Sylt . The bank, which is around 30 km² in size, is surrounded by the pre- tipping depression in the southeast, the Hörnumloch in the northwest and the Theeknobsrinne in the south. To the south there are other sands such as the Hörnumknobs and the Jungnamesand . The sand, washed over regularly and at very high speeds, acts as a natural breakwater for the island of Amrum.
