From Svirskaya Bay to Maloye Onego Bay
The lighthouse on the famous Demon Nose - where the rocks are dotted with ancient petroglyphs - is also abandoned. The height of the lighthouse is 16 meters, and the height of the fire (which no longer exists) above the water level is 27 meters. This beacon provided a signal visibility of 8 nautical miles (14.8 km). It's surprising that the building hasn't been completely torn down yet. Although the metal frame structure is still standing, the wooden parts are already falling off, and the staircase to the lighthouse platform, where the lamp stood, has also collapsed. It seems that this structure did not survive to electrification: there is no power line here, which means the lamp worked on carbide. Tourists who come en masse to look at the petroglyphs do not pay attention to the old lighthouse, but local fishermen find shelter from the rain in it.

От Свирской губы до залива Малое Онего
Маяк на знаменитом Бесовом Носу – где скалы испещрены древними петроглифами – тоже заброшен. Высота маяка 16 метров, а высота огня (которого уже нет) над уровнем воды – 27 метров. Этот маяк обеспечивал видимость сигнала на 8 морских миль (14,8 км). Удивительно, что сооружение еще не растащили окончательно. Хотя металлическая конструкция-остов все еще стоит, но деревянные детали уже отваливаются, рухнула и лестница на площадку маяка, где стояла лампа. Похоже, до электрификации это сооружение не дожило: никакой линии электропередач здесь нет, значит, лампа работала на карбиде. Туристы, массово прибывающие посмотреть на петроглифы, на старый маяк внимания не обращают, а местные рыбаки находят в нем приют от дождя.
