DK:

Det grå Fyr

Skagen Fyr, som også kaldes "Det grå fyr" blev bygget i 1858, og taget i brug 1. november samme år. Fyret, der er 46 m højt, er Danmarks næsthøjeste, kun overgået af Dueodde Fyr på Bornholm som er en meter højere. Skagen Fyr er tegnet af den danske arkitekt N.S. Nebelong.

Fyrets roterende linse vejer lidt mere end to tons, og flyder på kviksølv. Lyskilden er en 400 watts natriumlampe. Lyset fra fyret kan ses i en afstand af 20 sømil som et blink hvert fjerde sekund.

Den invendige Vindeltrappe fører op til den udvendige balkon. Hvis man ikke efter de 210 trin har tabt pusten, kan den smukke udsigt gøre det.
Fra toppen af fyret er der vid udsigt over Grenen og Skagen By.

The lighthouse, which is 46 meters high, is the second hightest in Denmark, only beaten by Dueodde Lighthouse on Bornholm by one meter. Skagen Lighthouse is drawn by the danish architect N.S. Nebelong.

It's rotating lens weight just more than two tons and floats on mercury. The lightsource is a 400 watt sodiumbulb. The light can be seen in a distance of 20 sea miles as a blink every fourth second.
