Hiking

This radar tower is of great importance for shipping traffic to and from Hamburg. It is part of a radar network that stretches across the entire Elbe and Outer Elbe, thus guaranteeing safe passage for ships even in thick sea fog.

Hiking

🤍With an impressive height of 52 meters, the tower is visible from all over the island and is part of a radar network that stretches across the entire Elbe and Outer Elbe Rivers.
The radar tower's primary function is to ensure the safe passage of ships to and from Hamburg.

🤍A modern landmark that complements the island's historic navigational aids.
