The Lighthouse is burning

The lighthouse… A symbol of safety, but also of loneliness and isolation.

Take a guided tour of the lighthouse in the village of Jävre and listen to the story of how what used to be Skag Lighthouse ended up here, details about the lighthouse-building era in nearby Sandhamn and tales of lighthouses and lighthouse keepers through the ages. 

The tour takes app. 60 minutes and ends with a climb to the top of the lighthouse and a visit to the outer platform. Those that do not appreciate heights can stroll the charming harbour area nearby instead.
