About Sletbakken Lighthouse
Also known as: Sletbakken (Bogen)
A 6-meter tall, cylindrical fiberglass tower, painted white with a red lantern roof, is situated on the north bank of the Ofotfjord. It marks the approach to Bogen. The light characteristic is Oc WRG 2s, cycling through white, red, or green light with a 2-second period. The focal plane reaches 7.5 meters, offering a visibility range of 9.5 nautical miles. The grounds are accessible to visitors, though the tower structure remains closed. The port of Bogen is located 0.6 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as a navigation aid for ships approaching Bogen, an inlet off the Ofotfjord, helping to avoid grounding. Its color-changing light offers specific direction for local maritime traffic within the fjord.
