an apprenticeship through nature: the bird bunk on Sylt
Sylt, especially known as the retreat for wealthy holidaymakers, is increasingly becoming a place of diversity and change. Away from the popular beaches and boutiques, there is a small but important nature reserve that is deeply rooted in history. This mystical forest, between Kampen and List, was once the scene of the duck hunting and now offers an apprenticeship path that gives an insight into the local flora and fauna.
The historical importance of the bird koje
The Vogelkoje, which goes back to approval from 1767, was formerly a place where up to 25,000 ducks per year were caught. This fishing technique was a tradition that relied on the cooperation between nature and man. With the invention of the fishing pipe, the campers managed to lure the birds. However, over the years, the number of prisoner ducks decreased strongly until the system had to close in 1912.
A focus on protection and education
In the past few decades, the Vogelkoje has transformed into a designated nature reserve that is looked after by the Söl´Ring Foriining. The aim of this facility is to protect nature and to convey your knowledge. Visitors can learn more about the special vegetation and the animal world in this unique ecosystem on a created apprenticeship. The display boards along the way offer interesting information about the domestic species and their habitats.
An exciting contrast to the holiday island
Die Vogelkoje and the adjacent nature reserve not only represent the rich history of the island, but also the increasing wish of vacationers for sustainable and educational experiences. At a time when Sylt is often associated with exclusivity and luxury, such places prove to be a successful counterweight. Vacationer Carola Bollenhaupt said: "These places are a colorful contrast to the otherwise homogeneous Sylt vacationers. It is time to live tolerance on all sides!"
EU guidelines and nature conservation
With the accession to the EU, stricter guidelines on nature conservation were also put into effect that are intended to support the preservation of such areas. The history of the Vogelkoje shows how important it is to preserve natural resources for future generations. Your conversion from a fishing station to the teaching site is a prime example of the change that many tourist places live through.
Visitors to the island who are interested in this part of the Sylt history is recommended for a walk through the forest and along the display boards. The calm and beauty of the area not only enable a relaxing break, but also raise awareness of the importance of nature conservation.
