About Røytingkalven Lighthouse
Røytingkalven is a square tower with a 6-meter lantern and gallery, painted white with a red roof, atop a black pedestal. The structure stands 14 meters above sea level. Its light emits two white, red, or green flashes every 8 seconds, with a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. Located on the north side of the Fensfjord, it marks a bottleneck in the inside passage. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for maritime safety, guiding vessels through the narrow Fensfjord bottleneck and the approach to the Sognefjord from the south.
