Leuchtturm Oberalppass

The lighthouse

A lighthouse stands on the Oberalp Pass at over 2000 meters above sea level. But why? And where does it come from?

  • The lighthouse is from Rotterdam. Its original stands in the «Maritiem» Museum. It once stood in Hoek van Holland, where the Rhine flows eventually into the sea. Therefore the lighthouse on the Oberalp Pass stands sybolically at the source of the Rhine.
