About Hietakari Range Rear Lighthouse
This red and yellow cylindrical skeletal tower stands 23 meters tall on the western side of Katakari island, approximately 25 kilometers northwest of Oulu. It carries a rectangular daymark with a red face and a yellow vertical stripe. The tower's focal height is 25 meters, and it emits an occulting white light that is visible for 14.3 nautical miles. The light flashes every 6 seconds. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. It is located in a forested area on the island.
Why it matters: This rear range light, along with its front counterpart, is essential for guiding vessels approaching Oulu from the north within designated shipping channels.
