About Vonflua Lighthouse
This lighthouse is a round fiberglass lantern structure mounted on tripod piles, standing 12.5 meters tall. Its light has a focal height of 7.5 meters, with a geographic range of 9.5 nautical miles. The tower is black, and the light emits white, red, and green flashes on a 6-second cycle, occulting to mark the hazard. It is situated on a shoal in the middle of the Vatlestraumen, off the north end of Bjorøyna, near Øygarden. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels through the Vatlestraumen and warning them of a dangerous shoal.
