Along the coast
Experience the beautiful nature around Sandefjord by foot. If you want to go walking or hiking, the possibilities are many and varied – both along the coast and in the forest.
The coastal trail on Vesterøya offers 25 kilometres of signposted trails for hikers where Folehavna, with its smooth coastal rocks and stunning view, lies at the entrance to the open sea. You will also find ruins from a German fortress built in 1941.
The coastal trail on Østerøya is 20 kilometres long and passes through an area known for its rich and varied fauna. At Østerøya’s souther trip lies Yxney with Tønsberg Tønne, a boaters’ favourite spot and a beautiful place to take a break from daily life.
In the forests Hjertås and Marum there are many kilometres of lighted trails, logging roads and paths. Near the city are Hjertnes forest and the viewpoints Mokollen, Mølleråsen and Preståsen. Bugårdsparken is also a good place for taking a stroll, especially around the idyllic Bugårdsdammen.
