About Salkobb Lighthouse
Salkobb lighthouse is a red, cylindrical concrete tower standing 9 meters tall, with a focal height of 11 meters. It is mounted on the caisson of a previous lighthouse. This active light emits a white, red, and green signal with a 5-second cycle. Situated off the southern end of Lemland in the Åland Islands, it marks the waters northwest of Fästorna and northeast of Lågskär. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: Salkobb lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels through the complex waterways surrounding Lemland, warning them of submerged hazards between Fästorna and Lågskär.
