Far out to sea, in the outer limits of the Luleå Archipelago you will find Rödkallen Island, the last outpost before crossing the gulf to Finland. For many years the island has housed a pilot station and there is also a fishing village.

In 1872 a Heidenstam-type lighthouse was built on the island. It was taken out of service 100 years later and is today classed as a historical monument. The Heidenstam lighthouse on Rödkallen Island is one of the few remaining of its type in Sweden

Parts of Rödkallen Island are included the Rödkallen - Sörespen Nature Reserve. Visiting boats can tie up at the old pilot station harbour; be careful when approaching the harbour.

There is a newly opened family hotel on the island, the Lighthouse Hotel (Fyrhotellet). For further information phone +46 -920-25 77 50, or send a fax to the same number.

During the summer you can sail to Rödkallen Island on M/S Ronja and M/V Emma Rödkallen.

Worth seeing: The Labyrinth next to the lighthouse, the lighthouse, the scenery, the old chapel.
