Texel (West Frysian Islands)

Lighthouse "Eierland" is located on the northern part of Texel and is built in 1863 with brickstones. The lighthouse was built on top of a 20-metre high sand dune and the height of the lighthouse itself is 35 m. Since 1977 the tower was covered with a red plastic coating. Nowadays the visibility range is about 54km (29 mls) obtained by an High power gas-discharge lamp( 2000 W).
