Hammerodde Fyr , sometimes Hammer Odde Fyr , is a lighthouse ( Danish Fyr ) in Allinge-Sandvig , on the northern tip of Bornholm .
description
The square white tower and the adjoining building for the beacon keepers were built in 1895. The construction of the beacon was necessary because the 91 m high Hammeren Fyr could often no longer be seen in high fog .
Hammerodde Fyr uses the Swedish Sandhammarens fyr to refer to Bornholmsgat , the strait between Bornholm and the southeastern cape of the Swedish coast. Hammerodde also monitors the corresponding traffic separation area. In the immediate vicinity of the lighthouse there is a reference station for the Differential Global Positioning System . She has a range of 451 nautical miles .
Older nautical charts show that the station used to be equipped with a fog horn and a marine radio beacon . However, the operation of both plants was discontinued.
