Germany - Lighthouses

Standing in splendour on a sandbank is Westerhever lighthouse (below), flanked by two former keepers' houses. Today a popular landmark, it was built to guide shipping through the treacherous sandbanks off the Eiderstedt peninsula and into the Heverstrom. The red and white striped tower has 157 steps. From the top there are panoramic views of the Eiderstedt peninsula and the islands off the North Sea coast. And above is the Lighthouse at List Ost on Sylt, Schleswig-Holstein, in Germany.
