Uwe-Dün

The Uwe-Dün summit extends 52.5 meters above sea level, offering views of the North Sea, Danish island of Rømø, and German-Danish mainland.

Since the 1920s, a wooden staircase with 110 steps has provided access to the observation deck, serving as a navigation point for maritime traffic.

The dune bears the name of Uwe Jens Lornsen, a 19th-century lawyer who advocated for the unification of Schleswig-Holstein region.

Visitors need to climb numerous steps to reach the observation platform, and the location does not accommodate wheelchair access or bicycle riding.

From the summit platform, observers can spot the Kampen lighthouse called Langer Christian and watch ships crossing the North Sea waters.
