    🗼New Lighthouse

    June 26, 2010 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    The New Lighthouse was built in 1879 and stands 60 meters tall. It replaced an older lighthouse and still serves as a navigation aid. The tower is red and white striped and a distinctive landmark of the island. Visitors can climb the tower to the observation platform. From there, there is an impressive view over the island, dunes, the North Sea, and sometimes the mainland. Inside, there is a small exhibition on the history of Borkum lighthouses. The climb up the spiral staircase is a special experience. Historical documents and photos show the construction and use of the tower. It is a popular photo spot and orientation point. It symbolizes the connection between humans, technology, and the sea.

    Address: Strandstraße 28, 26757 Borkum
