    For runners, it serves as a good landmark.

    The Pilsum Lighthouse, approximately 11 meters high, was completed at the end of the 19th century as one of four lighthouses on the East Frisian North Sea coast. Its yellow and red striped paintwork gives it its distinctive appearance and has made the lighthouse one of the most famous landmarks of East Frisia. Climbing the 28 steps requires a guided tour, as the lighthouse is only open at certain times.

      The Pilsum Lighthouse is probably the most famous landmark in East Frisia. The yellow and red striped lighthouse, dating from the 19th century, is visible from afar. Since 2004, East Frisia enthusiasts have been able to exchange their vows here in a civil ceremony. Pure romance in a unique natural landscape.

      The small yellow and red Pilsum Lighthouse was built in 1988 and is considered a landmark of the Krummhörn-Greetsiel holiday region. The lighthouse is approximately 11 meters high and has 28 steps leading to the top.

      The tower played a key role in the scenery of Otto Waalkes' famous film.
