Tvistein Lighthouse

Tvistein Lighthouse stands on the eastern of two small islets about three kilometers south of Hummerbakkfjorden. The lighthouse is a coastal lighthouse and has beds for up to 17 people. The season is from May to September.

There are great fishing and diving opportunities around Tvistein. Tvistein Lighthouse is also a great destination for day visitors. From the wharf, there are great swimming opportunities, and it is well organized to get ashore easily. Due to the good distribution between the islands, there is often great clear water out here.

The accommodation
The lighthouse has 17 beds in 7 rooms. There is 1 bedroom in the main house, 1 in the "Fyrgården" and 5 in the outhouse. The room in the main house has 5 beds, and the room in "Fyrgården" has room for 2. The 5 rooms in the outhouse have 2-3 beds in each, distributed between double beds and bunk beds.

There may be other visitors to the lighthouse at the same time. As an overnight guest, you share the kitchen, bathroom and toilet with the other overnight guests. The bathroom is in the main house, while the shared kitchen is in the "Fyrgården", also called "Sjefsboden" (meaning the chief booth). There are several outdoor areas to use, but also a common living room in the Machine House, if you want to sit inside.

Overnight guests must bring their own bedding (duvets and pillows are provided), as well as their own food, drink and water. Water from the cisterns can be used for brushing teeth, washing hands and for cooking, but it is not drinking water. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is a barbecue for free use.

It is also possible to arrive on the island by your own boat, or by taxi boat if you want to come for a day visit. There are also boats that can be hired by groups on request. The harbor at Tvistein is well sheltered from the southwest, but not from the north. There can be a lot of sea in the harbor, so be aware if you come in your own boat.

Fulehuk Lighthouse

Nowadays the role of the lighthouse is played by a fully automatic beacon on a nearby island. The lighthouse itself is operated by the association of Fuglehuks friends, looked after by the foundation Fulehuk Fyr. Its been renovated by the association, and visitors can enjoy the stunning view from the top of the tower, as well as looking out onto the many ships that pass by every day. The sunset and sundown view is often described as magical.

Accommodation at Fulehuk fyr
The lighthouse offer accommodation up to 30 people in the lighthouse and Naustloftet, and is equipped with kitchen, bedrooms, living rooms and meeting rooms. Fresh water, electricity, indoor toilet and bathroom. The hosts will help you with accommodation and information.

At the cabin there are 8 beds that are rented out during the summer (June 1 – August 30 without Saturdays) They can be rented for up to three days at a time. They are split between two bedrooms that also double as the primary living rooms. The cabin is simmilar to a self serve cabin in the mountains, where you meet other people who are there at the same time as you. 

Transport

Fjordtaxi will drive you out for a fixed fee. 

By boat: The island which the lighthouse is built upon is quite samm and as a result it is very exposed to the elements. there is also a lack of good spots to anchor, though there are several spots where kayakks can easily dock. If one wishes to use ones own motor boat to visit then the hosts at the lighthouse must be contacted first. Any use of a private boat is done at the owners risk. Alternatively one can dock at the guest port at Eastern Bolæren for a fee and travel out to Fulehuk from there.

Safety
Young children must be looked after at all times as there are several cliffs and many slippery rocks to fall on. If you bring children it is
recommended that they wear life vest while outside. Remember that it is the law to bring life vests if one arrives in a private boat. The lighthouse
lies far out in the fjord and the weather can change at a moments notice.
