Vippetangen, Coastal promontory at Oslo port, Norway.
The southern tip of Akersnes peninsula extends into the Oslofjord, featuring modern port facilities and passenger ferry terminals connecting Oslo to Copenhagen.
Military installations, stone quarries, and public baths occupied the promontory before the construction of modern dock facilities commenced in 1899.
The promontory welcomed King Haakon VII and his family from Denmark in 1905, marking a significant moment in Norwegian monarchy history.
Ferry services operated by Stena Line and DFDS connect the terminal to Copenhagen, while water buses transport passengers to the Oslo Islands.
The name originates from 'vippefyr', referring to a basic lighthouse type that guided ships, combined with 'tangen' meaning headland in Norwegian.
