If you're ever on Föhr, you're bound to pass by. And a view of the island from the island through the island is of course a must.

Remembrance of the two devastating storm floods of 1362 and 1634, in which not only thousands of people lost their lives, but entire regions disappeared and villages and towns were submerged in the floods.

Interesting view through the island, the section was used in the "Gezeitenbrunnen" to depict the North Frisian island world

The lighthouse, built in 1952, is more of a tower and with a height of 8 m is certainly not as impressive as others, but it serves its purpose
