About Hjarnø Bagfyr Lighthouse
Established in 1902, Hjarnø Bagfyr is a steel skeletal tower standing 18 meters tall. It emits an isophase green light, with a 4-second cycle. The rear range light is situated in a farm field on Hjarnø island, approximately 700 meters northwest of its corresponding front light. Its geographic range is 12.7 nautical miles. The tower's design is triangular, and it has remained operational since its construction. The nearest port is Horsens, located 6.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: As a rear range light, Hjarnø Bagfyr works with its front counterpart to offer precise alignment for vessels navigating local waters. Its continuous operation since 1902 highlights its long-standing functional significance for maritime traffic in the area.
