Käringön was a pilot station for more than 250 years but was closed in 1960.nnOn Vedholmen in the northwest is the old lookout of the Sea Rescue Service.nnBefore the age of telecommunications, it was used to keep watch in bad weather.nnMarstrand and the Carlsten Fortress can be seen on a clear day by looking south. Skagen, Denmark, is 35 nautical miles 220°.nnTurn around and look across the island.
