Dahmeshöved Lighthouse
Highlight • Monument
The Dahmeshöved lighthouse stands on a coastal promontory about halfway between Fehmarn and Travemünde.
The octagonal tower was built entirely from bricks in 1878 and 1879. It is 28.8 meters high, which means that the beacon is 33.7 meters above sea level.
The neighboring smaller brick tower was built in 1939 to give the lighthouse keeper an opportunity to monitor the visibility.
During the German-German division, the Dahmeshöved lighthouse had a special meaning for the GDR citizens, because it was a point of reference when escaping across the Baltic Sea as the so-called "light of freedom".
Those who are more interested in the lighthouse can also visit it with an expert guide. The opening times - in the season from April to October - are: Sunday to Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. every half hour.

I don't think it's worth rebuilding it... which is a shame, because the view of the coast from there was always wonderful😩

Unfortunately, parts of the route designated as cycle paths were not passable because last October (2023) the storm destroyed paths closer to the coastline.
A section of the path (steep coast between Süssau and Kraksdorf) was on the edge of a farmer's private field, who is certainly not amused by …
