Amrum Essentials
Amrum is defined by the Kniepsand, a vast 10-square-kilometer sandbank on its western shore, and a high dune ridge reaching elevations of 32 meters. This selection highlights the island's maritime history, including the 41-meter-tall striped lighthouse and the historic village of Nebel. Key sites include the 'talking' gravestones of sea captains at St. Clemens Church, a reconstructed Iron Age dwelling, and the Öömrang Hüs, a traditional 18th-century Frisian house preserved as a museum.
