About Strömsviken Övre Lighthouse
Built in 1962, Strömsviken Övre is a 12-meter square skeletal steel tower painted white. It stands on a small island in the middle of the Väddö Kanal, guiding vessels northbound approximately 4 km south of the channel's northern limit. The lighthouse emits four flashes of white, red, or green light every 12 seconds, with a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors arriving by boat, though the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port is Hallstavik, 3.4 km away.
Why it matters: The Strömsviken Övre lighthouse provides precise directional guidance for northbound traffic within the Väddö Kanal, a critical inland waterway supporting regional commerce and recreational boating.
