Walking in Marumskogen

We ourselves like to call the fairground 'Bymarka' in Sandefjord because it has easy access for pedestrians and cyclists, and 6 parking spaces have also been arranged on the edge of the area. The varied hiking landscape is easy going – and long stretches can also be cycled.

The forest area houses a beautiful golf course, Sandefjord Golf Club, an 18-hole modern course with many idyllic waters.

The nationally famous Istrehågan rock formations are also located in Marumskogen. Istrehågan is located on the border between Larvik and Sandefjord. A large stone ship with a small dinghy in tow lies in a separate forest glade, along with three other man-made structures. The stone setting has probably been there since the 4th-5th centuries, and is today a protected area. A large field of petroglyphs from the Bronze Age has its place on an ice-cut rock on the farm Haugen, a couple of km from Istrehågan. Note that it can be difficult to spot the many ship figures, cup marks and spiral figures.

Large car park at Store Bergan Skole, or at the golf course. Tour maps for both summer and winter can be downloaded from Store Bergan Ski's website.
