About Risholmen Lighthouse
Also known as: #Risholmen
This cylindrical concrete tower stands 12 meters tall on a shoal in the Djupsund. Its square base supports a lantern and gallery, and the structure is painted black. The focal height of the light is 6 meters, casting a green flash on a 2-second cycle. This facility replaced an earlier navigation aid that marked the shoal. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself remains closed to visitors. This lighthouse is located near Hitra, with the nearest port 2.4 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The light is essential for safe passage through the Djupsund, warning vessels of the shoal it marks and assisting navigation along the Trondheimsleia.
