Switzerland Oberalppass
Great view into the valley, especially for sunrise
The "lighthouse" is a replica of one that stood at the mouth of the river Rhine in the Netherlands for 70 years. It was set up here, because the source of the Rhine is about an hour's walk from here.
At an altitude of 2046 m, this is said to be the highest "lighthouse" in the world.

Photography Tips
The sun goes down behind the mountains, so the morning golden hour is the best time.
The Lighthouse stands near the trainstation on the top of the Pass. (Park-Sign on the Map!)
