Oberland

Oberland, linked with Unterland on Heligoland by a lift and a flight of 181 steps, is a triangle of rock some 1,500 m/1,650yd long and up to 500 m/550yd across, largely flat and grass-covered, rising to a height of 58 m/190ft above the sea. On the east side lies the village (rebuilt), with St Nicholas's Church (1959; tower 33 m/108ft high) and the bird-watching station. The former anti-aircraft tower to the west of the village is now a lighthouse. At the northern tip of the island are an isolated stack known as the Hengst (Stallion) or "Lange Anna" ("Big Anna") and the Lummenfelsen (Guillemots' Rock), the highest point on the island.

There is an attractive walk round the island on the cliff-top path.
