About Rauma Lighthouse Lighthouse
This 7-meter stone cairn lighthouse, painted white with a red roof, is situated on a skerry at the entrance to Langfjord, near Åfarnes, Norway. It emits two white flashes every 10 seconds, with red and green sectors also indicated. The geographic range of the light is 9.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse structure itself stands 7 meters tall, with the focal height also at 7 meters. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Andalsnes, 8 kilometers away.
