Everything about Amrum totally explained
Amrum (
Öömrang North Frisian:
Oomram) is one of the
North Frisian Islands on the
German coast of the
North Sea. It is part of the
Nordfriesland district in the federal state of
Schleswig-Holstein. Its area is 20 km², and its population is 2,400.
There are five villages on the eastern coast:
Wittdün,
Nebel, Norddorf, Süddorf and Steenodde. The western half of the island is occupied by a large
dune area; the highest dune is 32 m high. Along the western coast of the island lies the
Kniepsand, one of the largest sand beaches in Northern Europe, with a length of approx. 10 km and up to 1.5 km wide.
While Nebel, Norddorf and Steenodde are very old
Frisian hamlets, the village of Wittdün was founded as a
seaside resort in the 19th century. It includes the ferry port, which provides ferry connections to Dagebüll (on the mainland) and Wyk (on
Föhr). Cars are allowed on the island, though there's only one main road.
The three municipalities of the island, Nebel, Norddorf and Wittdün belong to the Amt
Föhr-Amrum.
