The Hellen Lighthouse, with its red gallery and cone-shaped roof, rises between the trees on the beach. The 12-metre cross-marked guide lantern is one of the smallest on the Baltic coast and marks the northern entrance to the Hellenstrom with its natural stone base in the sand dunes. Stop and enjoy! At sunset, you can experience the special light that every artist and traveler on Hiddensee admires. The sky and the Baltic Sea turn yellow, gold, orange, red and purple. Everything is shiny and fragrant.
The architecture of the cast-iron lighthouse seems to take you back to the beginning of the last century, because it was then, in 1905, that the lighthouse was lit and has been showing the way to fishermen and sailors for more than a hundred years.
