This unfired structure was built for nautical navigation. She used to guide seafarers in the past, today they can be used for orientation in the dunes. There are some hiking trails leading to the beacon.

Hiking

Not far from this eastern beacon, Wernher von Braun tested two rockets he had built himself in 1934.
He traveled to this island especially for this purpose.
The further development then took place in Peenemünde on Usedom... In 1969, people flew to the moon.
Makes you think while hiking.
