The Thiessow pilot tower on the Lotsenberg not only offers spectacular views of the coastal landscape, but also tells the story of the region's maritime history. Discover the historic pilot watch and enjoy the panoramic view from the viewing platform!

On the Lotsenberg in Thiessow stands the striking pilot tower, a landmark with history and an impressive view. Originally built as a pilot watchtower, it was used to guide ships safely through the region's waters until 1977. Today, the tower combines history and modernity: it functions both as a mobile phone mast and a viewing tower.

The covered platform at a height of 13 meters offers a spectacular panoramic view of the coastal landscape. The view stretches from Klein Zicker and Groß Zicker with the Zicker Hills to the Granitz hunting lodge and the cliffs of Göhren all the way to Greifswalder Oie, Usedom and the mainland.

At the foot of the tower is the historic pilot station from 1854, a small brick building that now houses a museum. The Thiessow pilot tower is a must for anyone who wants to combine history and magnificent views.
