Långe Erik lighthouse - Öland's northern cape
The Långe Erik lighthouse, located on Öland's main ground and northern headland, is a 32-meter-high lighthouse built of limestone. There are 138 steps to the balcony, which is located at a height of about 28 meters.
Long Erik was completed in 1845. The lighthouse was automated in 1976 and after that only a weather observer service was manned on Öland's northern tip.
In the fall of 1991, the large lantern in the lighthouse was extinguished to be replaced by a small lighthouse that is mounted on the lighthouse's balcony.
ACCESSIBILITY
At Långe Erik, the surface consists of both asphalt and packed gravel, which makes it easier to get around the area.
