Stockenstieg, Historical brick path in Westerhever, Germany

The Stockenstieg consists of a narrow brick-paved pathway stretching one kilometer from Westerheversand Lighthouse through salt marshes to the mainland.

Built in 1929, this walkway served as the sole access route to Westerheversand Lighthouse until 1981, connecting residents to churches and schools.

The path represents traditional Frisian construction methods and stands as the last remaining example of historical pathway engineering in Schleswig-Holstein.

Visitors can only walk the path from June to September in one direction, from the lighthouse to the dike, due to its 45-centimeter width.

Three bridges span across the salt marshes, requiring careful maintenance after storm surges that frequently submerge the entire pathway.

Location: Schleswig-Holstein
