A beautiful place is that, with two benches left and right of the stone, from here you can practically overlook the entire Bay of Lübeck.

The Hermannshöhe Café & Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

From Travemünde the path leads up to the hiking trail to Hermannshöhe. The view of the Baltic Sea is great. A break in a beach chair in the Hermannshöhe beer garden is well worth it.

Travemünde Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The old lighthouse Travemünde is the oldest lighthouse in Germany.
It was first mentioned in documents in 1330.
In 1534, Danish troops destroyed the tower.
In 1539, Dutch bricklayers built the current lighthouse.
The beacon was probably initially operated as an open wood fire, later with hemp oil lamps in front of gilded concave mirrors.
The upper part of the tower burnt down in 1827 after a lightning strike.
It was renovated in the classical style and provided with kerosene lamps.
Starting from 1903 electric arc lamps shone, starting from 1937 incandescent lamps.

As a technical cultural monument, the lighthouse was registered in 1922.
In 1972, the beacon had to be switched off, as the new building of the Maritim Hotel obscured the tower. In 1974, a new beacon was put into operation on the Maritim.
2003/2004, the Old Lighthouse was refurbished. 12,000 stones were taken out to a depth of 30 centimeters from the masonry, which is up to a meter thick, and replaced. In addition, the 600 square meter outside area was completely grouted and the tower also partially re-plastered inside. For the extensive work the water and shipping authority (WSA) Lübeck invested 250,000 euros.

The Old Lighthouse Travemünde is 31 meters high and now houses a maritime museum on eight floors, which gives an insight into the history of beacon technology. On display are models of light ships, various sea lanterns as well as former light systems of other lighthouses. On the walls are numerous photos with detailed information about the lighthouses, which belong to the area of the WSA Lübeck.
Over 142 steps lead the individual stairs in lofty heights. On the top floor you can admire the still functioning system of the Travemünde lighthouse with 1000 watt incandescent lamps. The all-round view gallery also offers a unique view over the Skandinavienkai and the old town of Travemünde and across the Bay of Lübeck to Grömitz and over the coast of Mecklenburg Vorpommern.
