About Wenningstedt

Wenningstedt is located between Westerland and Kampen on Sylt and is the most family-friendly place on the island. The wide sandy beach with lifeguards, the shallow water, and the numerous playgrounds make Wenningstedt the perfect family beach holiday. The Denghoog — a 5,000-year-old Stone Age grave — is one of the oldest structures in Northern Europe. Its location between the fashionable Kampen and lively Westerland offers the best of both worlds.
