(Translated by Google) The old lighthouse on Wangerooge is absolutely worth seeing - the view over the entire island is breathtaking and worth every step up. A real highlight for every island visit! (Original) Der Alte Leuchtturm auf Wangerooge ist absolut sehenswert – die Aussicht über die gesamte Insel ist atemberaubend und lohnt jeden Schritt nach oben. Ein echtes Highlight für jeden Inselbesuch!

(Translated by Google) Once you've climbed all the steps and reached the top, you'll have a beautiful view of Wangerooge. You'll gladly pay the €5. Everything is well restored. The toilet is clean. What more could you want? Yes, nice weather would be nice, which I luckily had that day. 👍🤗😎. And there's even a wedding room. (Original) Wenn man alle Stufen gegangen und oben angekommen ist, hat man eine schöne Aussicht auf Wangerooge. Die 5 € gibt man gerne. Alles gut restauriert. H-WC ist sauber. Was will man mehr. Ja, schönes Wetter wäre schön, was ich zum Glück an dem Tag hatte. 👍🤗😎. Und ein Trauzimmer gibt es ja auch noch.

(Translated by Google) A visit is well worth it. Not only does it provide fascinating insights into the island's history—such as the storm surge of 1844/45, which changed everything, or its military significance during the World Wars—but the view from the top is simply fantastic. However, you do have to climb about 180 steps to get there. (Original) Ein Besuch lohnt sich sehr. Man erfährt nicht nur spannende Einblicke in die Geschichte der Insel - etwa die Sturmflut von 1844/45, dir alles verändert hat, oder der militärischen Bedeutung in den Weltkriegen, sondern der Ausblick von oben ist einfach fantastisch. Dafür muss man allerdings auch circa 180 Stufen erklimmen.
