This page shows the documentation of the Lighthouses of Southern Sweden. You can
always click on the photo of the light to go to a specific (larger
resolution) copy. Each lighthouse name is linked to (in our editorial
opinion) the best reference site for that light.
I would like to include directions on
how to get to these lights. If you know such data, could you eMail
me
and I'll post it here (with your choice of attribution.)
This list was built based on the list maintained by the Amateur Radio
Lighthouse Society. [w8] My thanks to them for providing this basis
for understanding.
