About Rutletangen Lighthouse
Rutletangen Lighthouse stands on the northeast point of Fjærøy, marking a significant bend in the Sognefjord. Constructed from fiberglass, the tower is white with two black horizontal bands and a red roof, standing 6 meters tall. Its focal height reaches 10 meters, and it emits a Fl WGR 4s light, providing a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. This structure replaced an earlier square skeletal tower. The lighthouse's site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: Rutletangen Lighthouse is essential for safe navigation through a critical bend in the Sognefjord, supporting local shipping and ferry services.
