The area has particularly good climatic conditions. This leads to great biodiversity, with a variety of warm-hearted plants and animals. However, the nature is vulnerable to intensive use. With some gentleness, future generations will also be able to experience this natural kingdom.

COASTAL TRAILS AT TJØME
Moutmarka ca. 3 km
One of the most beautiful places to go for a walk is to follow the coastal path from Mostranda to Skåebukta. The terrain is rugged and often windy, so make sure you have good shoes and a jacket. The trail is bluemarked. A good starting point is the parking at the End of the World. Follow the fence along Stall Verdens Ende northwards, then Skåeveien westwards, across the field. Follow the blue-marked path north after passing through the gate. The path crosses small boulders, pebbles and grass hills up to Tjøme's finest swimming spot on Mostranda. From Mostranda you can walk the same way back, or follow Moveien up to Helgerødveien and then take the bike path back to Verdens Ende.
