Lange Anna & Cliff Trail
Lange Anna
A 47 m red sandstone sea stack at the northern tip of Heligoland, next to Lummenfelsen, Germany's smallest bird sanctuary.
Lange Anna is a free-standing red sandstone sea stack at the northwest corner of Heligoland, about 47 m tall, and the island's most famous landmark. A walk of about one hour along the Upper Land cliff path (Klippenrandweg) circles the island and passes Lummenfelsen. From May to July you can watch northern gannets, guillemots, and black-legged kittiwakes raising their chicks up close, and in June the chicks leap from the cliffs into the sea. The trail is free. The rock itself cannot be climbed, and winds are strong at the cliff edges.
