Hiking

Originally the only way to cross to the island was in a basket suspended from a hemp cable. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built, it was replaced in 1964 with a steel cable truss bridge. However, in 1983 it had to be closed to the public due to safety concerns. After a new aluminium bridge was built, the lighthouse was reopened to the public in 1997. It is now a popular destination, attracting thousands of visitors every year.

Hiking

The lighthouse is open every day, a sign indicating the times is at the top of the steps. You can pay cash at the lighthouse, or by Credit Card if you get your tickets at the visitor center. The climb to the top of the lighthouse is superb!
