The route through the Morsum cliff is marked out on wide paths and cyclists find their way along the "Nösse Kuhle" lake. Cyclists can then dismount and look at the white-brown cliff and the heath and reed landscape. The way back goes via Africa: the slope dominated by sand creates the feeling of being in Africa.

The Morsum Cliff on Sylt is not only geologically and scenically impressive, but also an important habitat for sand martins. These birds nest in the steep cliff walls and are a special highlight for bird watchers. The sand martins dig their nesting holes in the soft sand and clay walls of the cliff, which offers them protection and ideal conditions for raising their young. A walk along the Morsum Cliff not only offers the opportunity to observe these fascinating birds, but also a deep insight into the diverse flora and fauna of the area. The circular path begins at the Nösistich car park and leads along the cliff, where numerous information boards provide information about the geology and the animal world. Especially in spring and summer, visitors can watch the sand martins performing their daring flight maneuvers and building their nests. The cliff itself consists of various rock layers that are up to ten million years old. This unique geology makes the area one of the oldest and most important nature reserves in Schleswig-Holstein. In addition to the sand martins, you can also find rare plant species such as the lungwort and the spotted orchid, which support the ecological balance of the cliff.
