Unfortunately, the tower cannot be climbed. As it is located in the middle of the city center, the crowds would probably also be too high... 😉

With its four harbour basins, the 110-year-old lighthouse, and ships of all kinds, Büsum harbour invites you for a maritime stroll. The circling and screeching of seagulls, the calls of sailors, and the splashing of harbour water against the quay walls fill the harbour with a maritime atmosphere. Here you can enjoy the peace and quiet, but also experience a lot. https://www.buesum.de/buesum-erleben/hafen
