The Amrum lighthouse was opened in 1875 and is the highest accessible tower on the North Sea coast. It extends to a height of 41.8 meters. There are 297 steps leading from the foot of the dune to the balcony, 172 of which are in the tower. The lighthouse can be climbed in the mornings in the summer months. From the viewing platform you have a view of Amrum, the neighboring islands of Sylt and Föhr and the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site.
