Lange Anna, Natural rock formation in Heligoland, Germany.
The red sandstone stack rises 47 meters above the North Sea waters, measuring 14 meters in diameter at its peak with a total volume of 17,000 cubic meters.
The formation became isolated from the main island when its connecting arch collapsed in 1860, leading to its establishment as a separate geological structure.
Local residents refer to the formation as Nathurn Stak in Frisian language, while the German name Lange Anna stems from a tale about a tall woman at a nearby café.
Visitors can observe the rock formation from the 2.8-kilometer cliff edge path in the Oberland area, situated 60 meters above sea level.
The base of the formation required reinforcement in 1979 due to erosion creating a cavity underneath, with the structure now weighing over 26,000 tons.
