About Nordre Kavringdynga Lighthouse

Also known as: #Nordre Kavringdynga

This navigational aid is situated about 200 meters southeast of the Kavringsanden light and 300 meters northeast of the Kavringen lighthouse.

The current light emits a quick white flash from a focal height of 11.5 meters, visible for 10.9 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat, although the mast structure is not open to the public.

Why it matters: This light, along with nearby aids, helps mariners navigate a specific maritime corridor and avoid hazards, ensuring safe transit in the approaches to Oslo.
