The repertoire at Tran\u00f8y Lighthouse spans everything from the light summer play of lazy waves and sunwise breeze to wintry melodrama with storm and tempest. The backdrop could not be more theatrical, but the service is impeccable.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Tran\u00f8y fyr (Tran\u00f8y Lighthouse) stands outermost on the island of Hamar\u00f8y, facing the approach to the Vestfjord, where the iron ore shipments go to and from Narvik and further north. A red-and white-painted lighthouse towers above a cluster of white houses on a little islet. Reached by a ramp, a 250 metre-long footbridge, it is set amidst some hundreds of kilometres of Norway\u2019s most dramatic coastal scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The lighthouse has a dynamic history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tran\u00f8y Light was first lit in 1864, when it was housed on the roof of what today is the old lighthouse keeper\u2019s cottage. From then on, people lived permanently at the lighthouse. In 1910, a new lamp able to emit intermittent light signals was installed at Tran\u00f8y, which since then has emitted two lightning-quick flashes every 6 seconds. In 1936, the 20-metre high cast-iron lighthouse at Moholmen in the Lofoten Islands was moved to Tran\u00f8y, and the old lighthouse lamp was hoisted up into the tower. A foghorn was also mounted. A gradual programme of modernisation went on through the 1970s, and in 1994 the last resident lighthouse keeper left his watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/002865_Roger-Johansen_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/002865_Roger-Johansen_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"The rugged shoreline highlights why a lighthouse was so important, especially in the olden days \u00a9 Roger Johansen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/002865_Roger-Johansen_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"The rugged shoreline highlights why a lighthouse was so important, especially in the olden days \u00a9 Roger Johansen\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-107.jpg\" data-size=\"536x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-107.jpg\" alt=\"The nature around the lighthouse includes beaches and local plant life \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-107.jpg\" data-caption=\"The nature around the lighthouse includes beaches and local plant life \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-162.jpg\" data-size=\"536x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-162.jpg\" alt=\"The automated light system \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-162.jpg\" data-caption=\"The automated light system \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-196.jpg\" data-size=\"536x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-196.jpg\" alt=\"The lighthouse from below \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-196.jpg\" data-caption=\"The lighthouse from below \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: The rugged shoreline highlights why a lighthouse was so important, especially in the olden days \u00a9 Roger Johansen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: The nature around the lighthouse includes beaches and local plant life \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The automated light system \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: The lighthouse from below \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tran\u00f8y is set amongst rich nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eternit, that miracle cladding from the 1950s, covers most of the external walls of Tran\u00f8y Lighthouse. So you need to look a little more closely to see that some of the buildings actually date as far back as the 1860s, when the lighthouse was first built. A smattering of hardy rose bushes and a profusion of bluebells and bird\u2019s-foot trefoil add colour to the scene. In early summer, terns protecting their young dive-bomb the heads of visitors, while the eider duck female has more of a phlegmatic relationship with people. Killer whales, Vestfjord whales (springer whales) and pilot whales can sometimes be seen in the sea right off the lighthouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up in the tower automation took over manual labour <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tran\u00f8y Lighthouse still lights up the shipping lanes. But, as there is little need for a lighthouse on light summer days, there is opportunity for the present-day hosts to take visitors up inside the tower itself. Although there is not much of a working mechanism to be seen today, as the lighthouse is now automatic, you can see the extra bulb that replaces automatically if the bulb in the lamp should go out. It is this kind of automation that has made lighthouse keepers redundant. The waiting room beneath the actual lamp room is still there, and one can only imagine how cold it must have been waiting here for many hours when the icy inland wind blew in the winter. Perhaps that\u2019s why the alcohol that was used to keep the lamp lit in the old days sometimes ran out?<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/003571_Kjell-Fredriksen_www.hamsuns-rike.no_.jpg\" data-size=\"1229x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/003571_Kjell-Fredriksen_www.hamsuns-rike.no_.jpg\" alt=\"Looking NW with the Lofoten wall in the background and the midnight sun swinging down to the northern horizon \u00a9 Kjell Fredriksen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/003571_Kjell-Fredriksen_www.hamsuns-rike.no_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Looking NW with the Lofoten wall in the background and the midnight sun swinging down to the northern horizon \u00a9 Kjell Fredriksen\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-185.jpg\" data-size=\"1195x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-185-768x514.jpg\" alt=\"The view of the lighthouse accommodation quarters from the top of the lighthouse \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-185.jpg\" data-caption=\"The view of the lighthouse accommodation quarters from the top of the lighthouse \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008430_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1422x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008430_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"Due to the remote location the lighthouse is also a great place to see the northern lights \u00a9 Flightseeing.de\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008430_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Due to the remote location the lighthouse is also a great place to see the northern lights \u00a9 Flightseeing.de\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-193-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1195x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-193-1-768x514.jpg\" alt=\"&#039;The area around the lighthouse is a bird sanctuary by law&#039; \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-193-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"&#039;The area around the lighthouse is a bird sanctuary by law&#039; \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Looking NW with the Lofoten wall in the background and the midnight sun swinging down to the northern horizon \u00a9 Kjell Fredriksen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: The view of the lighthouse accommodation quarters from the top of the lighthouse \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Due to the remote location the lighthouse is also a great place to see the northern lights \u00a9 Flightseeing.de<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: &#039;The area around the lighthouse is a bird sanctuary by law&#039; \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See V\u00e6r\u00f8y from the 360 degree balcony <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The balcony that runs round the entire top of the lighthouse offers a fabulous 360-degree panoramic view: from here you can see the sculptural peaks on Hamar\u00f8y, the impressive Mount Steigartindan to the south, and the entire curtain of mountain peaks in the Lofoten Islands, known as the Lofoten Wall, out to the west. On clear days the far-flung islands of Mosken and V\u00e6r\u00f8y are also visible. However, the first thing likely to catch your eye is Tran\u00f8y Lighthouse itself seen from above: the footbridge from the mainland, the buildings, the clear, transparent water, all of it underscoring just how far from all signs of settlement this spot is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn about a lighthouse keeper\u2019s life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tran\u00f8y, like all other lighthouses along the coast, was home to a lighthouse keeper and his family. They reared sheep, a pig and a cow and did a bit of fishing. In the early summer there could be up to 300 eider duck females nesting everywhere, so all one need do was find one and one could help oneself to eggs. The lighthouse keeper\u2019s children had a long way to get to school, walking 11 kilometres (nearly 7 miles miles) each way. They were quite happy to do this, though, as they missed the company of other children.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-123.jpg\" data-size=\"536x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-123.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional interior \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-123.jpg\" data-caption=\"Traditional interior \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008457_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008457_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_-1-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"Bridge leading to the lighthouse \u00a9 Flightseeing.de\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008457_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Bridge leading to the lighthouse \u00a9 Flightseeing.de\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Traditional interior \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Bridge leading to the lighthouse \u00a9 Flightseeing.de<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying at Tran\u00f8y Lighthouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The guest accommodation at Tran\u00f8y Lighthouse is divided into small and large units: one-bed, two-bed and family units, with shared or separate bathrooms as appropriate. There are also a couple of kitchens for self-catering. The accommodation is only offered in summer, as it is too poorly insulated for winter use, nor is there a sufficient electricity or water supply for winter-time. Some guests simply take the opportunity to chill out completely and simply breathe in the fresh sea air, duck when the terns come diving, or share a cup of coffee with friendly hosts Inger and Villy. More energetic guests use Tran\u00f8y as a base for visiting the many sights and destinations on the road across from the E6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just like in Grandma\u2019s day, the lighthouse retains a homely feel <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking round in the buildings, it struck me: this is just like it was in Grandma\u2019s day. The slightly steep, painted wooden stairs, the brightly painted wood-panelled interiors, the kitchen cabinets with sliding doors, the plastic chairs; the old houses have been redecorated at various times during the 20th century, and it all looks rather provincial and outdated, just like it was in the days before we could allow ourselves the luxury of decorating an entire room in the same style. But its comforting familiarity and lack of sophistication make us feel quite at home; may the interior designers never get their hands on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008447_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com-2.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008447_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tran\u00f8y lighthouse in the early autumn \u00a9 Flightseeing.de\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008447_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com-2.jpg\" data-caption=\"Tran\u00f8y lighthouse in the early autumn \u00a9 Flightseeing.de\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-103.jpg\" data-size=\"1195x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-103-768x514.jpg\" alt=\"Memorial for a sunken fishing boat \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hamsuns-rike-II-103.jpg\" data-caption=\"Memorial for a sunken fishing boat \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008457_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008457_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"Bridge to the lighthouse \u00a9 Flightseeing.de\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/008457_flightseeing.de_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Bridge to the lighthouse \u00a9 Flightseeing.de\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Tran\u00f8y lighthouse in the early autumn \u00a9 Flightseeing.de<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Memorial for a sunken fishing boat \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Bridge to the lighthouse \u00a9 Flightseeing.de<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coffee and cake or dinner for two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The old, red-painted boathouse on the mainland side of the islet is where it all happens at Tran\u00f8y Lighthouse; this is where coffee is served and, in true country style, we enjoyed a slice of home-baked carrot cake.
