The Lighthouses of Denmark (East)

This page shows the documentation of the Lighthouses on the East 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 North (point of the Jutland penisula) to East (near Copenhagen) 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 that naming convention rather than replacing them with English descriptions. 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.) mailme

This page is based on the Lighthouse Directory prepared by Russ Rowlett (UNC). My thanks to him for providing this basis for understanding. w6
