You can observe a herd of Galloways on the wet meadows near Heiligenhafen. They are bred here and used for further breeding or for meat marketing. They belong to gallowaysbest.de/index.html, in whose farm shop (it is about seven kilometers from the pasture) the meat is also sold directly.

Leuchtturm an der Steilküste

Highlight • Monument

Since 1885, a simple lantern burned on a fisherman's house. It was Heiligenhafen's first lighthouse, guiding ships into the harbor. In 1907, a 12-meter-high, round lighthouse was built, but it only lasted 30 years and was finally replaced by the current square tower in 1938. There are no tours available.

Heiligenhafen Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Between 1985 and 1987, the German Federal Navy built a total of five lighthouses along the Baltic Sea coast between the Kiel Fjord and the Fehmarn Sound.

All concrete towers have a red lantern with a flat roof. Only the tower shaft heights are different. A sixth fire was added in 1996 with the Neuland lighthouse, which was no longer used as a navigation mark.
The Heiligenhafen warning light is the easternmost of this chain. by Laboe. During the day, the tower shows bright red light signals when target practice is taking place in the military restricted area of Putlos and yellow light signals when target practice is taking place in the restricted area of Todendorf. The light signals are generated by 400W metal halide lamps.
