The final day on Sylt

I woke up in the morning in the graveyard, packed my stuff and got ready to start the final day. Leaving Morsum the trail led me through the fields southwards to the main dike. There I had to turn around because it was closed due to a disease. Back to the railway I followed roads close to it until I got to the main hub of the island called Westerland. I bought new shoes for the time after I finished the trail.
Now only 15 km to the end of the island, a blue sky with a few clouds, a light breeze in the air and a great view from the Uwe dune, with 52 m the highest point of the island, a perfect final for the NST. Suddenly a friend, who is living on the island, called me and asked if he could join me for the rest of my hike. First I tried to answer ironically but immediately agreed happily.
Instead of walking on the soft sand at the beach we took a gorgeous path between the dunes. The pictorial landscape with sand dunes partially covered in heather rounded up with a few clouds and the blue sky, just beautiful. The last bit following a road on a thin stretch of the island called "elbow" as it looks like an arm half bend. There leaving the road a sandy path in the dunes led us to the beach where we saw the sign a bit further up north. My legs were already hurting and walking in the soft sand was really hard.

We finally made it to the most northern point of Germany and therefore for me to the end of my journey on the NST. It felt unreal and it was a weird feeling after a year of hiking to have an end for now.

I had an amazing time on the Nord Süd Trail and I am really grateful for all the amazing people I met. Thank you for all your kind and warm hearted words which gave me energy. Much love to all the trail angels who supported me!

Thank you Soulboy for sharing your passion with the hiking community and also thank you all who support Soulboy in establishing the trail, so future NST hikers can also have an amazing experience while exploring different parts of Germany.Read more
