Darßer Ort Lighthouse
The Darßer Ort Lighthouse is located on the unique West Beach at the northernmost tip of the peninsula.
It stands in the heart of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park and can be reached on foot or by bike through the unspoiled Darß Forest. The brick tower, just under 36 meters high, was built in 1849 and is one of the oldest lighthouses on the German Baltic Sea coast. For a fee, visitors can climb the 134 steps and 35 meters in elevation to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Baltic Sea and the surrounding natural landscape.
Darßer Ort Lighthouse in Born a. Darß – History and Location
The Darßer Ort Lighthouse is one of the most striking landmarks on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst Peninsula in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The brick tower, just under 36 meters high, was built in 1849, making it one of the oldest lighthouses on the German Baltic Sea coast. It is located at the northernmost tip of the peninsula, directly on the wild and romantic Weststrand beach, in the heart of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park.
View from the Darß Lighthouse: Panorama of the Baltic Sea and the national park
For a fee, visitors can climb the 134 steps and 35 Höhenmeter to the observation deck. At the top, visitors are treated to an impressive panoramic view of the Baltic Sea, the Bodden landscape, and the pristine Darß Forest—a natural experience that differs significantly from the coastal landscapes around Rügen, Stralsund, or Greifswald.
On foot or by bike through the Darß Forest to the lighthouse
The Darßer Ort Lighthouse is accessible only by land—on foot or by bike through the pristine Darß Forest. This nature-oriented journey is an experience in itself: narrow forest trails lead through one of Germany’s last untamed coastal forests before the sea comes into view at the northern tip of the Darß.
