Lange Anna
Facts and practical information
Lange Anna, also known as the Tall Anna, stands as a striking natural monument on the island of Helgoland, Germany. This freestanding rock column, sculpted by the relentless forces of nature, rises approximately 47 meters above the North Sea. The Lange Anna is a symbol of Helgoland's rugged beauty and a testament to the island's geological history.
Composed of red sandstone, the Lange Anna is a significant nesting place for sea birds and has been designated a natural monument since 1969. Over time, erosion has shaped the rock into its current form, and it continues to be subject to the elements, a reminder of the constant change within nature.
The rock is not only a point of interest for geologists and nature enthusiasts but also one of the most photographed landmarks of the region. Visitors to Helgoland often take a walking tour to the southwestern tip of the island to witness this iconic column, which is an emblem of the island's resilience against the vast sea.
