About Mefjordbåen Lighthouse
Mefjordbåen is a 13-meter tall, slender, round cylindrical tower situated approximately 3 kilometers from the Vestfold region's western shore, northeast of Tønsberg. This functioning navigation marker supports a round watch room structure topped with a small lantern. Its light produces two white flashes with intervening occultations every 8 seconds, showing white, red, or green, and has a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. The location is accessible to the public, but the tower is not open for entry. Slagen, the closest port, lies 1.6 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the lower Oslofjord, offering navigation assistance to ships in the area west of Tønsberg. Its light characteristic aids safe transit for marine traffic in this channel.
