Sylter Sagenwald – Fairy Tale Forest and Adventure Playground

Experience legends in Wenningstedt at the Sylt Legend Forest

The Sylt Legend Forest in Wenningstedt-Braderup is a free adventure playground that also shares the island’s legends. There are as many Sylt legends as there are grains of sand on the beach—stories of unwavering love, pirates, and brave freedom fighters. Faithful Ose, the dwarf kings, Finn the egg thief, and the merman Ekke Nekkepen have all found a rustic home here.

Romping between Puks and Klabautermanns

Children can run wild on high-quality wooden play equipment in the shade of the trees, from the Klabautermann carousel to hidden Puk figures. Next to each play station is a board with the corresponding legend. The playground was created in close cooperation with the Sölring Foriining local history association.

Admission is free, the grounds are open year-round, and it is listed as a barrier-free leisure facility. During the holiday season, Sylt author Frank Deppe offers guided tours through the Legend Forest, bringing the stories to life. Dates can be found in the Wenningstedt event calendar. Parking is available at the Osetal public parking lot between the beach chair hall and the campsite.
