Where is Amrum & how many villages are there on Amrum?<\/h3>\n

The island has five villages: Norddorf, Nebel, S\u00fcddorf, Steenodde and Wittd\u00fcn, which are mainly located in the eastern part of the island.<\/strong> Lake Wriakh\u00f6rn is located at the southern tip.

It has a shallowly curved moraine from the Saale glacial period that is about 6 km long and 2.5 km wide. The Kniepsand is a high sand that runs around the northern tip of the island.<\/p>\n

Amrum's dune area stretches the entire length of the island with a maximum width of more than one kilometer and a length of about twelve kilometers on a total area of about 700 hectares. There are primary, white and gray dunes, as well as some former shifting sand dunes that have been planted. The dunes are the only ones on the west coast used by gulls and ducks for breeding. To the north, the dune area merges into the Odde.<\/p>\n

The island's forest and heath areas form a band in a north-south direction on the geest ridge. North of Norddorf lies the Norddorfer Marsch, a marshland of about 0.5 km\u00b2. Another, smaller marsh area is located between Steenodde and Wittd\u00fcn. Both areas are protected from flooding by dikes.
