About Dragsneset Lighthouse
This cylindrical fiberglass tower, measuring 6.5 meters in height, stands at 8 meters above sea level. It is painted white with two black horizontal bands, and its lantern roof is red. The light emits a white, red, or green flash in a 6-second cycle, visible for 9.7 nautical miles. Dragsneset lighthouse replaced a former square wood tower. It is located in the extreme northwest corner of Suldal Kommune, marking the junction of the Vindafjord and the Krossfjord.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation through the complex junction of the Vindafjord and Krossfjord, guiding vessels through this confluence of waterways. The transition from a wooden structure to a modern fiberglass tower highlights the ongoing commitment to maritime safety in this challenging region.
