It is usually done on a raft that is tied up to the shore. You can relax for a few hours in the hope of a perfect catch - true Norwegian wellness.

The Viking Road in Westfold

A drive along the Viking Road from Mølen in the south to Borre in the north offers a historical journey back to the Viking Age. The route follows less busy roads, so there is plenty of opportunity to stop the car along the way and explore the past. For example, you can see the rune stones and burial mounds at Mølen. It's a great experience in any weather. On the way you can also see Kaupang and the mound "Kongshaugen" at Gokstad farm. This is where the Gokstad ship was excavated, and is now on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo.

Whaler Svend Foyn's Workers' Housing

If you want to take a walk around the town, it's almost impossible not to come across the local builder and ship owner Svend Foyn, who was born here in 1809. Svend Foyn is considered a national treasure by the people of Tønsberg. He was sent to sea when he was just 11 years old. He founded the modern fin whale fishery and became a wealthy man who supported social causes. On the tour, you can visit Svend Foyn's workers' housing. They were built so that Foyn's workers could have a good place to live, and they are definitely worth a visit as part of a mini-break or perhaps summer holiday in southern Sweden.

Gallery The Wave

Every year, Larvik Art Association organises six to eight exhibitions in Galleri Bølgen with artists from home and abroad.

There are also frequent opportunities to grab a bite to eat, or else dine in the area's eateries.
