Gloppen Lighthouse Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Gloppen Lighthouse Lighthouse
This square skeletal tower, standing 6 meters tall, is covered with white siding and topped with an octagonal lantern and gallery. It is situated on the west side of the Gloppefjord entrance from the Nordfjord. The light emits a white, red, or green signal that cycles every 6 seconds. Its focal plane is 5 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for guiding vessels through the narrow and often busy entrance to the Gloppefjord from the Nordfjord. Its directional light, changing color based on approach, specifically aids the E39 highway ferry and other local traffic navigating the waters around the Lote terminal.
