  Warnemunde Lighthouse

  Warnemünde is a Baltic seaside resort and a district of the city of Rostock. Founded in about 1200, Warnemünde was for centuries a small fishing village. Being a centre of maritime traffic, the district of Warnemünde comprises numerous navigational aids, the oldest being the lighthouse, built in 1897, and still currently in use. In the summer, the tower, approximately 37 meters (121 ft) high, allows visitors to enjoy an impressive view over the Baltic Sea and the northern districts of Rostock.
