L for Lighthouse
The lighthouse, which you can see in the picture, was built in 1945. But in Kolobrzeg, light has been used for navigation since 1666. Through centuries the lighhouse had various shapes and sizes and it was located at different places across the harbour.
The tower has 26m and the height of light is 34m above the sea level. Light range is sixteen sea miles.
