Whalebone fences from the whaling period of 1713-1782. In the immediate vicinity of the Old Lighthouse are the two remaining fences made of pine bones from Greenland whales.

Fences were often built in this way in the past. There is also something to see on Baltrum.

So-called. Walkinnladen remind of the time of the Greenland trips. The bones have now been protected against / from weathering & rotting with a small roof, nothing lasts forever.
Interesting fence, but also a matter of taste😉
