Haugjegla Lighthouse (Norwegian: Haugjegla fyr; also spelled: Hauggjegla) is a coastal lighthouse located in Smøla Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located on a waveswept skerry about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of Veiholmen on the north side of the island of Smøla. The lighthouse is only accessible by boat. The lighthouse is listed as a protected site.[1]
History
The first light was set up in 1905, the present tower was built in 1922, and the station was automated in 1988.[2] The 28-metre-tall (92 ft) round, cylindrical, cast-iron tower is painted red with a white stripe around it. The concrete base is painted white. The light at the top emits a white, red, or green light (depending on direction) occulting twice every 8 seconds. The 126,000-candela light can be seen for up to 15.3 nautical miles (28.3 km; 17.6 mi).[3][4]
It is now possible to rent Haugjegla Lighthouse (Fyr) for a holiday in the spring and summer season, from May to September, for up to 10 persons. This is today a very popular place and regarded[by whom?] as one of the most spectacular holidays in Scandinavia, often in combination with eagle watching, fishing and a visit to the old fisher village Veiholmen.[citation needed]
