In Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 harbor where Kajkanten is located, it is close to the island’s older archipelago settlement and the old pilot lookout on the mountain. Take the mountain path and the stairs up, which hide between the houses and climb the small mountain. From the lookout you have a panoramic view of, among other things, the Vinga lighthouse, \u00d6cker\u00f6 islands and the entire southern archipelago, a perfect vantage point from which to experience the sunset. Here you can feel the winds of history pulling in, this is the place of the pilots of the time who accompanied ships in and out of Gothenburg’s harbor and helped the occasional boat in distress.<\/p>

Piloting on Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 dates back to the 17th century and on the way up the mountain to the pilot lookout, you can clearly see how the mountain path has become worn in places after the pilots have walked up and down the mountain for several hundred years. The pilot’s lookout was indeed the perfect place to scout for incoming ships. There are a number of documented incidents where the Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 pilots saved ships from sinking or assisted the shipwrecked in an exemplary manner.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
