Soms kom ik onderweg een vuurtoren tegen. Een toren die, net als een grenspaal, als baken dient.
De vuurtoren is van verweg zichtbaar, 's nachts haar licht schijnend in een afgesproken en vastgelegde kadans, overdag als een trots monument, fotografisch vast te leggen.
Ook iedere vuurpaal heeft haar (eigen) verhaal. Vaak is er in de buurt iets over te lezen, soms ook helemaal niet.
In een enkel geval loopt haar verhaal synchroon met dat van de grens. Daarvoor verwijs ik u naar de pagina Märket Island, waar de vuurtoren het middelpunt is van het markante verloop van de grens, op een onbewoond eiland.
Sometimes I come across a lighthouse on the way. A tower that, like a boundary marker, serves as a beacon.
The lighthouse is visible from a far, shining it's light at night in an agreed and fixed cadence, by day as a proud monument, photographable.
Each lighthouse also has it's (own) story. Often there is something to read about in the area, sometimes not at all.
In a few cases, her story is synchronized with that of the border. For that I refer you to the page Märket Island, where the lighthouse is the center of the striking course of the border, on an uninhabited island.

Visiting Märket was a special expedition I did with 8 international members (5 nationalities) of the International border researchgroup (IBRG).
We went there for the 11 bordermarkers that shows how the border devides the isle between Finland and Sweden.
Special for me was the lighthouse on it, that we were allowed to visit all to the topdeck!
