Navigation

The approach to the fired harbour is unproblematic day and night. It is approached from the southwest in the white sector of the northern pier light (Q.WRG). You should be aware of the occasionally strong northerly current outside the harbour entrance. Those who know the area can also use the entrance at the southern end of the marina (at night: F.R).

Berths

The marina is mainly occupied by local boats. However, guests can usually find a free box at 2 - 2.5 m water depth after consultation with the harbour master, or you can ask for a place at the gas station. The harbour tends to silt up, so that especially in the southern entrance of the marina shallow depths are to be expected. The northern old harbour basin (old harbour) is used by fishing vessels and offers little space for guest berth holders (water depth 2.5-3 m).

Surroundings

The modern marina offers good service facilities, including fuel, repair facilities and a customs office for clearing in and out. In the nearby town you will find shopping facilities and fast transport connections to Helsingborg. The harbour has STF guest harbour standards.

NV Land Guide

The large suburban marina Råå is mainly used by Helsingborg residents, as Helsingborg's industrial and ferry harbours are closed to yachts. Only in Helsingborg's northern harbour basin are there a few, few berths for local boats.

Since there is also a lack of guest berths in Råå's old fishing harbour, guests usually have no choice but to moor in the large marina. The good supply situation is compensation for the lack of atmosphere in this harbour. There is no shortage of restaurants and shops in Råå. The long beach to the north of the harbour has a swimming pool and mini-golf course. Directly at the marina, the bulky building of the Holms shipyard unfortunately dominates the picture of the somewhat desolate area. Opposite the marina on the west side of the fishing port is the  Råå Museum of Fishing and Seafaring, which is worth a visit in any case.

The center of Helsingborg is about five kilometers north of Råå. Good bus connections there are available, but the city does not have the fluidity of the Danish Helsingør on the opposite side of the sound. Because Helsingør as a destination should therefore play a rather minor role, we will be brief in the description of the city.

The city, once hotly contested between Danes and Swedes because of its strategic location, is the most important Swedish port of call for ferry traffic between Denmark and Sweden. It's hard to find any good things about this industrial and commercial city. However, the landmark, the 35 meter high brick tower "Kärnan" at the Stortorg is worth seeing. Those who climb the almost 200 steps of the tower enjoy an excellent view over the city. Not far away, in Norra Storgatan, stands the oldest residential building in the city. The half-timbered building was erected in 1641. The memorial fountain in front of it is dedicated to the medieval astronomer Tycho Brahe (see also Kyrkbacken).

A statue of the Swedish commander Count Magnus Stenbock in the market square commemorates the victory over the Danes in the Battle of Helsingborg in 1710. The city museum on Storgatan, Slottshagen Park, 200 metres to the north of it (with old fortress remains), and Öresund Park, a kilometre north of the city centre, are notable destinations. The art museum immediately west of Öresundpark is also worth a visit. On the northeastern outskirts of the city is Frederikdals Freilichtmuseum, with a number of historical buildings and an open-air stage.
