(Neu-Isenburg, January 29, 2019) „Sylt is addictive,“ reveals the official tourism website of Germany's northernmost island. And indeed, almost everyone who visits this 99-square-kilometer piece of North Frisia falls hopelessly in love with the wind and waves, the wide horizon, the vast dune landscape, the imposing cliffs, and the seemingly endless sandy beach—which stretches for over 40 kilometers on the west coast alone. Sylt fascinates, enchants, and captivates people.
For more than two decades, participants in a small but exclusive biking event, the Summertime Party, have also succumbed to this Sylt addiction. No wonder most of them are repeat offenders.
In 2019, the popular Sylt Motorcycle Festival will take place for the 22nd time. From May 24 to 26, Germany's number one dream island will once again be buzzing with activity, a place that is perfect for exploring by motorcycle. After all, the small roads are ideal for enjoyable cruising past thatched cottages, tall lighthouses, and the roaring North Sea.
Those who arrive on the island earlier can enjoy the pre-opening evening on May 23 at the Westerland Casino – with no dress code. On Friday, May 24, the actual event kicks off with shopping and chatting on Elisabethstraße at Harley-Davidson Fashion Sylt. During the Summertime Party, Westerland's shopping mile traditionally transforms into Main Street for bikers.
Between Milwaukee Irons and the stands of accessory suppliers and caterers, it's easy to get into a lively conversation about gasoline. In the evening, the big biker party kicks off in the Kursaal with live music, a DJ, and a lavish buffet. On Saturday, May 25, visitors' V-Twins line up for a parade along the promenade in Westerland, drawing admiring glances from numerous onlookers.
And at noon, they are let off the leash. The joint excursion leaves no island highlight untouched. Stops are made at several charming locations to enjoy one or two culinary specialties, of which Sylt has plenty to offer. One day later, it's time to say goodbye to this German destination with its incomparable charm.
Anyone who wants to get addicted in 2019 can find everything they need on the website. of the Sylt chapter of the Harley Owners Group (www.sylt-chapter.de) for more information and the registration form.
The participation fee of €80 includes admission to the casino on the pre-opening evening, the party, a party gift and pin, the biker buffet on Saturday evening, the ride including food vouchers, and a discount on train or boat travel to the island. Be on time, because places are limited.
