About Vestre Fugleskjærgrunnen Lighthouse
This 16-meter post lighthouse is situated in Norway's Østfold region, marking a section of the Løperen approximately 1 km north of Tjeldholmgrunnen. The structure, painted white with a narrow green horizontal band and a red lantern roof, features a lantern and gallery. It emits a green light with a characteristic of one flash every 4 seconds. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Access is exclusively by boat, with the nearest port at Hvaler located 5.9 km away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of shoals near Tjeldholmgrunnen and its own namesake bank, contributing to safe navigation in the complex coastal waters of the Løperen.
