The current lighthouse was commissioned in 1890 and consists of a 29-meter-high granite tower with a round lantern. Its focal plane is 46 meters high, and the range of its white sector is approximately 25 nautical miles. The first Swedish lighthouse with a lens stood on this site as early as 1841; a second followed in 1854. The tower has been automated since 1974.

This hike takes you directly into the "Realm of Rocks" on the west side of Ramsvikslandet. Between Grosshamn and Tångevik, you'll walk across extensive slabs of red Bohus granite, smoothed by the inland ice sheet. Here, the sea is ever-present, and in windy weather, the waves crash dramatically against the shore. The landscape is interspersed with heathland and damp hollows where plants like sea lavender and the rare meadow gentian thrive. Keep in mind that the rocks can be slippery when wet, so walk carefully. At the top near Tångevik, there's a lovely swimming spot that makes for the perfect end to the hike in good weather.

Slow down on this section to admire the far-reaching views out to sea on a clear day. It's exposed along this coastline, so it can get really blustery at times!
