Sheep as Island Identity

The Amrumer Lammtage, held in mid-June, are arguably the most atypical island event on the North Sea: a festival that puts sheep at its center. On the island of Amrum, one of the larger islands in the North Frisian Wadden Sea, sheep are far more than just livestock — they are coastal protectors (they keep the salt marshes and dykes short, compacting the soil and helping the dykes withstand storm surges), landscape shapers, and a culinary resource all at once. The Lammtage celebrate precisely this multifaceted role.

Opening Festival on the Hüttmannwiese

The highlight of the festival week is the concert on June 16th, 2026: 'The Gregorian Voices — Gregorian Chant meets Pop'.

Amrum and the North Frisia District

The island of Amrum is located in the North Frisia district, in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is reached by ferry from Dagebüll (approx. two hours). With its vast sandy beaches — the Kniepsand near Norddorf is considered the widest sandy beach on the North Sea — and its tranquil, dune-rich landscape, Amrum is a classic destination for holidaymakers seeking relaxation. Sheep farming has been an integral part of island life for centuries and shapes the salt marsh culture.
