The Kolkas lighthouse is situated on the North of Kolka Horns on
the island.

This place attracts general interest also by its geographical
position - in way it can be regarded the Centre of Europe as here
is the crosspoint of the lines uniting the farthest corners of our
continent. Counter currents meet at the sea here, and in stormy
weather here tempest waves up to 7 m high. In particular between
the years 1812 and 1856, lots of different vessels have been
shipwrecked off Kolkasrags (Kolka Horns). Since 16th c. bonfires on
the coast have been maintained, but in 1818 in stone towers -
guiding lights have been alighted. Now the Kolkas Lighthouse is
functioning constantly, situated about 6 km off the horn and is
clearly visible in fine weather. During the spring migration period
multitudes of different birds rest here before crossing the seas,
here you can see eagles, greese, ducks and, of course, lots of
seagulls.
