The  Lighthouses of the West Denmark

Home south Germany East Denmark Baltic Scotland
Norway Map of West Coast Map of Jutland East  

This page shows the documentation of the Lighthouses on the West Coast of Denmark.  You can click on the photo of a light to go to it's specific (larger resolution) copy.  Each lighthouse name is linked to (in our editorial opinion) the best reference site for that light.  This page is organized from South (near Netherlands) to North (near Denmark) and tends to wrap the curves clockwise.

In Danish, a lighthouse is called a "fyr", the front range light is referred to as an "Forfyr" and the rear range light is called an "Bagfyr".  The descriptions below follow those names rather than replacing them with English descriptions. 

Google

I would like to include directions on how to get to these lights.  If you know such data, could you eMail me and I'll post it here (with your choice of attribution.)

This page is based on the Lighthouse Directoryw6 prepared by Russ Rowlett (UNC).  My thanks to him for providing this basis for understanding.  Geographic coordinates (used to start the mapping pages) were taken from Anke and Jensw7 and the LighthouseDepot databasew3.
