When you look towards Den Helder, at night you can see a bright light shining from miles away (33,5 miles to be exact!). It’s ”De Lange Jaap”; the symbol of Den Helder. It is the tallest cast-iron lighthouse of Europa, and the second-highest lighthouse in the Netherlands. It towers above everything else at 63 meters tall.
