Baakdeel-Rantum/Sylt
Baakdeel-Rantum/Sylt is a nature reserve on Sylt’s west coast in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Dunes stretch north and south of Rantum, while salt marshes occupy the island’s eastern side.
The protected area covers about 242 hectares and has held reserve status since 1979. It belongs to the FFH area Dünenlandschaft Süd-Sylt and the EU bird protection area Ramsar-Gebiet Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer. As part of Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park, it provides habitat for migrating Brent Geese and Barnacle Geese, alongside breeding Little Terns and Arctic Terns.
The contrast between shifting dunes and eastern salt marshes gives this coastal landscape its character.
