About Olderkalven Lighthouse
An octagonal lantern, painted white with a red roof, sits atop four straight piles on a skerry east of Olderkalven island. This active lighthouse emits a flashing white, red, and green light every four seconds, guiding vessels through the intricate coastal passages. Its focal height is 5 meters, with a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse's site is open to the public, but the tower remains closed. Its nearest port is Lutelandet, 9.9 kilometers away.
