Lubeck Bay isn't one of the world's most dangerous waters, but lighthouses take care of guiding ships safely at any time of day or night and in any weather. It's been like this for centuries. The lighthouse in Travem is certainly the oldest of its kind. Maybe the plain, cylindrical building doesn't look it, but it dates from 1539 and has shown sailors the way for more than 400 years. The top two floors were added in 1827, thus bringing the tower to a total height of 31 metres. The optics, installed in 1937, were in use until 1972, then they were replaced by the new signal light on the Maritim Hotel. The complete device is kept in operative condition and can be seen on guided tours - as it is the only one along the entire Baltic coast.
