ナチュラルパークアムルーマーデューネン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

There is a viewing platform here with a great view over the dunes and the North Sea.

Very worth seeing, but opening hours are quite limited outside of the season. When the weather is nice, the view is worth it.

Amrum has the oldest and highest lighthouse on the North Sea coast. There are still around 90 beacons of different designs in operation on the German North and Baltic Sea coasts. Beacons are still indispensable for shipping today, especially if satellite navigation fails. The Amrum lighthouse is not only the oldest and highest, but also one of the most famous beacons on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein. The tower itself is 42 meters high and 68 meters with its peak, the "height of the light" is 63 m. Until 1952 the lighthouse was painted dark red and only then was it given its current coat of lighter red with two white rings. The Amrum lighthouse has already appeared twice on Deutsche Post stamps. https://www.andreas-doelz.de/amrum-wahrzeichen/leuchtturm/

Beautiful tower, beautiful island!

The Amrum lighthouse is always worth a trip, but closes Monday - Friday at 12:30 p.m.

My last class trip went to Amrum and it was really great. Visiting the lighthouse was very interesting and the fresh crabs straight from the cutter, which we had to pick ourselves, were delicious.

The white, round tower with a red lantern and a red conical roof made of copper stands on a conical brick base in the northwestern part of Amrum, on the eastern edge of the Kniepsand. The shaft consists of cast-iron casing plates that are screwed together. The lighthouse was initially operated with gas. In 1936, the lighthouse was converted to electric light together with the Amrum lighthouse. The light is produced by a 120 V/600 W halogen bulb with a four-way changeover system and electric lamp timing. Since December 5, 1984, all lighthouses on Amrum have been remotely controlled by the Tönning Waterways and Shipping Office. The Norddorf lighthouse serves as a guide and cross-mark light for the "Vortrapptief" fairway, a second guide sector for entering the port of Hörnum on Sylt. You can reach the Norddorf leading and cross-mark light from the bird hide near the crossing to Kniepsand via a boardwalk. In autumn it can sometimes be very stormy on Amrum. The spectacle can be magnificent. Water splashes over the breakwaters, beach grass ducks before the imperious storm that howls around the Frisian thatched roofs. It is the time to walk on Amrum in oilskins, the taste of salt on your lips, a joyful restlessness in your heart because the unleashing is impressive. There is some truth in the opinion of island friends that there is no such thing as bad weather here, just inappropriate clothing. https://www.deutsche-leuchtfeuer.de/nordsee/norddorf.html

The lighthouse is closed until the end of August. :-(
