Sankt Peter-Ording

Sankt Peter Ording has a train station, but you will probably have to change trains more than once. From Hamburg, Westerland (on Sylt) and Kiel, you will have to change trains in Husum. That being said, arriving by train has the undeniable advantage of avoiding the congested roads in the summer and you don't have to park your car, that is pretty much useless in Sankt Peter Ording anyway. There is regular public bus service from Husum, which is also the closest major railway junction with service from Hamburg and Kiel. The town is small and rather walkable. There is a bus that is included in the price of the Kurtaxe, but chances are, you won't need it. A good idea for exploring the surrounding areas is renting or bringing bikes, as the area is rather flat and bike-friendly. Many people are enthralled by the sheer natural beauty of the white sandy beaches. Sunsets are especially spectacular, but if you want to see the beach (almost) empty, come for sunrise....
