About Vatinki Range Rear Lighthouse
This skeletal steel tower stands 24 meters tall on Aarholma, a small island located about 6 kilometers southwest of Houtere. It is painted red with a yellow vertical stripe, serving as a daymark. The structure carries a light with a focal height of 26 meters. This light emits a single yellow flash every 6 seconds and has a geographic range of 14.5 nautical miles. The lighthouse is operational and guides vessels on an outer approach from the Gulf of Finland toward the start of an inside passage.
Why it matters: The Vatinki Range Rear lighthouse offers critical directional guidance for vessels transitioning from the open Gulf of Finland to more confined coastal routes, helping mariners avoid hazardous areas.
