Nothing extraordinary, but the surrounding nature offers nice cliffs for jumping around with the kids. There's a nice path along the coast to the center of Svaneke.
Still working lighthouse with a lot of original details in the red stone materials. Nestled in the beautiful Svanie city easily visited from the city
In March 1914, as a result of wind and fog, the Polish schooner Louise & Helene went aground at Hullenakke off the coast of Svaneke. As Poland did not exist as an independent state at that time the ship should properly have been identified as coming from the German Empire, the country that controlled the Baltic coast of the region until after the First World War and the creation of Poland. The ship was broken up on the rocks and its crew of three all drowned. As a result, the city council provided a plot of land for a lighthouse on Hullenakke. The architect Otto Bertlesen was invited to design the building which was completed in 1919. The base of the rather unusual square-shaped building is in Nexø granite while the tower itself is built of sandstone, 15 metres (49 ft) in height. In January 1920, a temporary light was placed on the platform and in August 1920 the final fixtures were added and the lighthouse came into full operation.[3] As the lighthouse was also to provide fog warnings, a foghorn was installed which was operated by compressed air from an engine in the machine house. Living quarters for the lighthouse keeper and his family were also constructed on the site. In 2010, the lighthouse was taken out of commission and sold into private ownership the following year after heritage protection had been denied.
Nice view and very peaceful.
Lighthouse at great location!
