    The Great Kaap (a sea mark) is (was) used by shipping for navigation.
    The structure is the big brother of the smaller landmark, the Little Kaap, a little further south.
    The Great Kaap is almost freely accessible and it is only here that you notice the imposing red brick construction.
    A small information board provides useful information.

    Seepeilzeichen or Bake anno 1872. Made of red clinker bricks, with a wooden top sign, both large and small kaap are still in a very good condition today :-).
