May 6, 2026, View of the Baltic Sea Cliffs

This part of the spit is older than the Graswarder and higher, but here too the sea throws itself with force against the shore, breaks off and carries away what it had built up centuries ago.

Inaccessible in bad weather, beware of risk of falling! Even in good weather, keep your distance from the edge of the cliff. Sturdy footwear is advantageous. Unsuitable for prams etc.

Since 1885, a simple lantern burned on a fisherman's house. It was Heiligenhafen's first lighthouse, guiding ships into the harbor. In 1907, a 12-meter-high, round lighthouse was built, but it only lasted 30 years and was finally replaced by the current square tower in 1938. There are no tours available.
