I drove past in my car and looked at it from afar. Then I cycled over there: the closer I got, the more obvious its size became. Its black and white color makes it seem even bigger. The information boards tell its story.

Since 1856, the black and white lighthouse in Kampen has been leading the way for sailors. Its official name is "Beacon Red Cliff" - despite its appearance. Locals just call him "Christian" - why? The black-and-white giant was christened by Heinz Klevenow years ago with the quote "For me, all Danish kings Christian" (even if it was King Frederick VII of Denmark, who gave the building contract in 1853 ...).
