Naven, Lighthouse in Ekens Skärgård, Lake Vänern, Sweden

The white lighthouse structure stands 8 meters tall on a skerry island near Kållandsö, with its beacon reaching a height of 15 meters.

The Jonsson family managed the lighthouse operations from 1872 to 2002, spanning five generations of dedicated maritime service in Lake Vänern.

The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Lake Vänern, serving as a navigation aid for vessels since its establishment in 1856.

Access to Naven requires driving north from Lidköping toward Läcko, following the left turn at Kållandsö, and walking to the landing stage.

The lighthouse emits one long flash every ten seconds, projecting its guiding light across a distance of 13 nautical miles over Lake Vänern.
