A short stop on the way to grenen, the top of Denmark
Until 1952 Skagen Lighthouse was the country's tallest. Dueodde Lighthouse on Bornholm is now just one meter higher.
The lighthouse has a two-ton rotating lens resting on mercury. Originally there was a five-wicked paraffin lamp which was successively replaced with a 1,000 Watt then a 1,500 Watt electric lamp. Today there is a 400 Watt sodium lamp which every four seconds can be seen up to 37 km away.
