Rannapungerja Lighthouse

German: Rannapungern

Rannapungerja Lighthouse

On the northern shore of Lake Peipus, where the Pungerja river meets the lake, a wooden lighthouse was raised in 1923 to guide fishing boats and lake traffic. In 1934 it was replaced by the present white reinforced-concrete tower, only 7.6 metres tall but with its light 16 metres above the water. Today the little lighthouse is also known for the summer concerts held beside it on the sandy lakeshore.

Eesti keeles

Peipsi järve põhjakaldal, kus Pungerja jõgi järve suubub, püstitati 1923. aastal puidust tuletorn kalapaatide ja järveliikluse juhatamiseks. 1934. aastal asendati see praeguse valge raudbetoontorniga, mis on vaid 7,6 meetrit kõrge, kuid mille tuli paistab 16 meetri kõrguselt. Tänapäeval on väike tuletorn tuntud ka suviste tuletornikontsertide poolest, mida peetakse selle kõrval liivasel järverannal.
