            The lighthouse has been located at Darßer Ort since 1848. It is 35 meters high and is now accessible to visitors. Its light extends up to 40 kilometers out into the Baltic Sea. Up to three lighthouse keepers were employed here until the 1970s. Today the tower is remote-controlled.

              There is nothing to add to the history and significance of Darßer Ort. This place is also a destination by excellence. One should not be surprised if it is a bit full in summer. Not everyone visits the museum or goes to the lighthouse, but everyone goes to the beach. Those who want to be lonelier, the small or large circuit on the Darßer place know, there you can rather admire the nature of this incredible area with more peace.

                The lighthouse Darßer Ort was completed in the autumn of 1848 and put into operation a little later. He is - after the "Schinkel Tower" on Cape Arkona - the second oldest lighthouse on the coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and at the same time the oldest, which is still operated there today. Opening hours are on the website. You can make nice family trips to the Darßer place.

                  An old relic. Endangered by the erosion of the sea in its continued existence. According to calculations, the waves will conquer it in 50 years

                    Large bicycle parking area. Museum and lighthouse charge admission. Closed on Sundays and Mondays.
                    Apart from the museum café (accessible only with payment of admission), there are no catering options.

                        The path through the Darßwald forest is fantastic. Then the lighthouse and behind it the west beach. However, the path there is quite busy.

                                      The lighthouse was built as a round building from 1847-1848 red brick and taken on 1 January 1849 in operation. The trial run since November 16, 1848. Next to the tower a guard house was built. The lighthouse is one of the oldest on the German Baltic coast. It is 35.4 m high, the headlamp lens-reinforced fire is located at a height of 33 m. Since 1936 the fire is operated electrically. It has the characteristic Fl (2 + 4) W 22s, which means two and four flashes every twenty two seconds. The range of the light is 23 nautical miles. Since 1978, the lighthouse is operated remotely. After the closure of the border on 13 August 1961, access to the lighthouse was blocked in 1962. Only since March 1995 visitors can again climb the 134 steps to the viewing platform. The lighthouse counts more than 100,000 visitors a year.

                                      At the foot of the lighthouse is theNatureum, a branch of the German Maritime Museum Stralsund.

                                              The area is not only beautiful, but is located in a nature reserve and is part of the National Park Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalpark_Vorpommersche_Boddenlandschaft

                                              The entire area of Darßer Ortes can only be reached on foot, by bicycle or by horse-drawn carriage from Prerow. Car traffic is only to a very limited extent reserved for the national park administration. Tourist destinations at the Darßer place are the Natureum, a branch of the Sea Museum Stralsund, and built in 1847/1848 and 35 meters high lighthouse, which can be climbed at certain times. The beautiful nature of the relatively "young" country and the almost untouched beaches are accessible on a circular route.

                                                  The ugly lattice tower near the lighthouse is used militarily. A purchase and dismantling by the national park could not be realized.
