Leuchtturm Kollicker Ort

The Kolliker Ort lighthouse stands 7 meters tall on the chalk cliffs of Rügen Island, serving as a navigation aid for ships sailing through the Baltic Sea waters.

Built in 1904 and commissioned on April 1, 1905, this lighthouse has guided maritime traffic for over a century along the German Baltic coast near Sassnitz.

The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Rügen Island and stands as a protected cultural monument within the Jasmund National Park's chalk cliff landscape.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse only by foot through a long hiking trail from Sassnitz or by taking boat tours departing from the local harbor.

Despite its modest 7-meter height, the lighthouse achieves a range of 10 nautical miles due to its strategic position 30 meters above mean sea level.
