About Høyanger Lighthouse
This concrete square tower, standing 6.5 meters tall, is situated at the base of a steep promontory on the eastern side of the Høyangerfjord entrance in Norway. Its lantern and gallery are housed atop the white structure, which features a red roof. The lighthouse emits an occulting white, red, and green light that changes color based on the direction of approach, cycling every 4 seconds. The focal height of the light is 7 meters, with a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. While the site is accessible by boat, the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Balestrand, approximately 1 kilometer away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels into the Høyangerfjord, a significant waterway. Its directional light is essential for safely navigating past the promontory at the fjord's entrance.
