The island of Sylt is the most prestigious island in Germany's part of the North Sea and has a lot of private houses used for vacations. As the island is not linked to the mainland by a bridge or a ferry, all cars go onto a train via a causeway. The island is located at the northernmost end of Germany, meaning that it is quite some distance to drive from many populous areas in Germany. This fact enabled Lowcost Carriers like Air Berlin and TUIfly to explore and exploit the market in recent years, as it brings down travel times considerably.
