Pilot honor

It is intended to honor all those who saved people from certain death as rescuers at sea. The concrete figure is located on the lighthouse forecourt.
lovers

It is said that looking at this roughly hewn sculpture will make you happy in love. That alone would be worth the walk along the promenade.
The compass Warnemünde
This is a very filigree wind chime. The sculpture resembles a compass and keeps moving as the wind blows through it. It is located directly on a beach access on the lake promenade opposite the hotels, guesthouses and holiday apartments in the Baltic Sea resort.
seagull flight
Coming from the lighthouse, at the very end of the promenade is the sculpture "Flight of the Seagulls". It shows a swarm of seagulls taking flight, is made of bronze and, like the “pilot honor”, comes from the artist Reinhard Dietrich, who died in 2015.
