Rheinquelle lighthouse, Mountain lighthouse at Oberalppass, Switzerland.
The Rheinquelle lighthouse stands at an elevation of 2046 meters on the Oberalppass, marking the source of the Rhine River in Grisons.
Built in 2010, this modern lighthouse reflects Switzerland's commitment to maintaining navigational structures, even in locations far from coastal waters.
The lighthouse serves as a symbol of connection between Switzerland and the Netherlands, representing the complete journey of the Rhine River.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via well-maintained hiking trails, with parking facilities available near the Oberalppass summit.
This structure functions as a replica of Rotterdam's Hoek van Holland Low Light, positioned at the opposite end of the Rhine River's path.
