The lighthouse is easy to reach and can also be visited. To get to the top you can conquer 320 steps in the tower. For a great view expected. Have fun

The lighthouse was planned in 1883 as part of the German-Dutch project Lighting of the Unter-Ems as one of five Leitfeuern and completed in 1890. On 1 October 1891, all five lighthouses were put into service together. Each of the five beacons was responsible for a fixed section on the ship's route between the North Sea and Emden (Wikipedia).

The Campen lighthouse is a so-called steel truss tower. At 65.30 m, it is the tallest lighthouse in Germany. It was built in 1889 and since then its beacon has guided ships safely past Borkum into the mouth of the Ems. Anyone who takes the trouble to climb the 308 steps to the lower gallery of the tower will be rewarded on a clear day with a view that extends to Borkum and across the Krummhörn to Emden.
