Südmole Lighthouse

The Südmole Lighthouse (also known as the Old Rhine Bridge) is a much-photographed, iconic structure located near the border between Switzerland and Germany in the city of Konstanz. Originally built in 1834, the lighthouse served as an observation tower for the Old Rhine Bridge, ready to alert ships to their presence in the river. Today, the lighthouse serves as a unique attraction for locals and tourists alike, offering spectacular views of the city skyline, the Alps, and the shore of Lake Überlingen. The lighthouse is free and open to the public, and it is accessible via a path that runs along the shore of the lake. If you're visiting Konstanz, be sure to check out this beautiful old lighthouse - a significant part of the city's history.
