Westmole Lighthouse (Green Lighthouse), Warnemünde

The Warnemünde pier lights are two small lighthouses on the west and east pier of Warnemünde. As a lateral sign they refer to the entrance to the Unterwarnow coming from the Mecklenburg Bay.

A classic and a must when traveling in Warnemünde. The small green lighthouse is not far from the beautiful sandy beach and can be reached via a well-developed path. You can watch the many ships in the harbor well. Of course it's a bit crowded here too. If you like it a little quieter, you should visit the red lighthouse. Running time + ferry ride about an hour from here.

The best way to marvel at the two mole lights is from the West Mole viewing platform in Warnemünde. The pier light is a beacon at the end of a harbor wall that marks the entrance to a harbor. It serves as a lateral sign and warning of the structure itself. In Europe there are red pier lights on port side and green pier lights on starboard. They can be fixed lights or flashing lights and can consist of simple steel poles with lanterns or designed like full-fledged lighthouses.
