From Falkensten, follow the cycle and footpath along the Falkenstens road for a few hundred metres. Here the main road is crossed, and we follow Gamleveien to Kjølhaleskogen. If you cross the parking lot, you can take a walk outside the nice forest that also leads to the Reverumpa swimming pool. Out of the forest again, you have to walk between the blocks and follow the Kjølhalstien to Tordenskjoldbukta. From there you walk all the way to the water's edge to Selviken boat harbour.
The coastal path continues along the jetty, past the old Keisermarkens Brygge and Badehus from 1853 and Bromsjordet Næringsområde to Karljohansvern. If you wish, you can also take the trip out to Møringa and around Karjohansvern (approx. 4 km). Here we cross the canal and follow the canal to the footbridge in the south at Fyllinga marina. (When we walked this bridge was closed. Alternative path on the other side of the canal).
From here we walk along the harbour past Horten guest harbour, Bastøferjekaia and Strandparken to Steinsnes boat harbour. From Rørestrand, the coastal path runs along the sea and partly at the edge of the forest past RS Noatun and Borre National Park with the Borrehaugene and the Midgard Viking Centre. At Borre family camping, we follow the gravel road further south and through a beautiful forest to Åsgårdstrand. Here we enter Edvard Munch's gate, past Edvard Munch's house. Here we walk through the garden and continue along the guest harbor to the Bathing Park below the Grand Hotel Åsgårdstrand.

The trail is mostly located between the urban landscapes, but parts of the walk also goes along the streets of the city. The whole trail is approx. 7.5 km long and takes approx. 2.5 hours.

On historic paths and roads, you pass several famous cultural monuments like Kaupang, Istrehågan, Gokstadhaugen, Vikingodden in Tønsberg, Borrehaugene, Midgard Viking Center and Gildehallen on Borre.
The pilgrim route is suitable for anyone who wants to go for a walk and is especially adapted for long walks. The tour is suitable for both those who want to walk alone or for those who want to share their experiences with others. The terrain is simple and suits most people. There are also several accommodation and dining options along the Tunsberg Trail.
The pilgrim route through Vestfold starts in Larvik and goes 110 kilometres north towards Haslum church in Bærum. There the Tunsberg trail meets Gudbrandsleden, which goes on to Trondheim.
In winter, Botnemarka is a popular destination for cross country skiers. Botnemarka is located high above the Oslo Fjord and is thus a more snow-secure place in Vestfold. There are groomed trails to the DNT cabin at Brannåsen.
Parking
A small parking lot at the top of the Sollifeltet. You can also take the bus, see vkt.no's travel planner.
You can start at Falkensten in Horten, follow the marked forest road and path up to Slettefjell – with perhaps Vestfold's most beautiful view of Breiangen, then follow the path down to Frebergsvik.
From here you can continue up the Frebergkastet where there is a barbecue area and a barbecue hut.
If you continue on the north path you will reach Sandsletta where there is a large beach, a hut and campsite before you arrive at the boat dock at Snekkestad.
From Snekkestad you can choose to continue towards Ruseberget and the lighthouse at Mulodden, back via Garnbakken and to the parking lot in Mulvika – or if you want to walk the path over Pollåsen directly to Mulvika.
From here, the coastal path continues along a paved footpath to Hagemannsparken and further round Hydro to Holmestrand town center, along the pier where the coastal path now follows the closed railway track between Holmestrand and Sande.
About 1.6 km north of Holmestrand near Tvillingbru, a new picnic area with playground, campfire and gapahuk has been established.
Further north there are several detours to historical tours, including Rambergklova to Olav Duun's house, Angers Klev which further leads into Botnemarka and Hilmar's Road from Skjervikbukta to Botnemarka.
Along the entire stretch there are opportunities for swimming and fishing.
The starting point for the trip is reached on a forest road, Brekkeveien, from Eidsfoss up to a parking lot 410 meters above sea level and about 500 meters south of Gausesetra. The road is closed during winter, and you have to pay a fee to drive up to the parking lot. Holmestrand and Omegn Turistforening have marked a route that goes past a hut and to the north side of Skibergfjell. From there it turns southwest and up to the apex, 632 metres above sea level.
At the top is an eight-edge granite stone that was put there as early as 1877 as a trigonometric point. On the north-eastern part of the top plateau there is also a building and an antenna, which today controls various functions in power production. From the cairn you can see Færder in the Oslofjord, as well as more nearby destinations such as the Tryvann Tower, Norefjell and Jonsknuten.
The most beautiful view is still found on the southern part of the plateau, also called Vestfjellet, barely a kilometre southwest of the trig point and now measured to be the highest point. From here you can look down towards the lakes Øksne, Hajeren and over the vast forests between Lågen and Eikeren with Skrimfjell and Lifjell further back.
The trip to the top of Skibergfjell can be combined with the tour around Vestfjellet. From there, the marked route goes south and then east again to the starting point.
Also read: From Skibergfjell, the circumference of the earth was measured.
In summer time you can swim in Myrvannet, Åsdammen, Kalmo or Øyvannet and in late summer the forest abounds with blueberries. There are many clear and well-marked trails.
Several of them head over to Eidsfoss, including Bergstigen, the old work road to the ironworks at Eidsfoss.
In winter, this is one of the most snow-sure areas in the district and a fantastic ski area. As soon as the conditions are right, there are miles of ski trails along beautiful paths.
The area is well organized with a forest road and good parking facilities, but remember money / cards for the pay toll.
Arrival and parking
Angers Kleiv is easiest accessible from the plateau. From Rv 315 take off onto Rambergveien and then first left onto Kleivanveien. Here is the sign for Angers Kleiv. Follow the road all the way to the end here is a parking lot where a map of the area has been set up.
The King's Road is marked as a coastal path with blue marks and continues to the northwest from the water tower. It is possible to follow the royal road further north, but the path has several very hazardous parties and it is necessary to cross the railway track to get down to Rv 313.
From the water tower, a forest road runs down to Smørstein and Rv 313. The hollow roads are located between this path and the king's road.
If you choose to go Angers Kleiv from Bogen you park on the picnic area along Rv 313. You have to walk a little way along the road towards Holmestrand before entering the road that turns right at Smørstein and leads up to Angers Kleiv. It is not possible to drive up the road as this is a private road that is blocked.
