Lotsenturm Thiessow, Communication tower and viewing platform in Thiessow, Germany
The Lotsenturm Thiessow stands 13 meters high on a 36-meter hill, providing panoramic views of the Baltic Sea and Mönchgut peninsula.
The original pilot service began in 1630 when local fishermen guided ships through dangerous waters, leading to the first stone observation point in 1854.
The pilot house beneath the tower displays maritime artifacts and pilot bells that illustrate the navigation heritage of the Baltic Sea region.
The observation platform remains open throughout the year with an entrance fee of 1 Euro, while parking facilities are available at Thiessower Südstrand.
From the platform, visitors can see the Greifswalder Oie island, Usedom, Ruden, and parts of mainland Germany across the Greifswalder Bodden waters.
