Sandefjord Viking Park
Just outside the town center you will find Gokstadhaugen, where the famous Gokstad ship was found in 1879. Of the four Viking ships found in Norway, three have been found in Vestfold.
The Oseberg Viking Heritage Foundation has set itself the goal of making copies of all of these. Previously, Oseberg Viking Heritage has made an archaeological replica of the Oseberg ship «Saga Oseberg» and an interpretation (as there is too little left of the original ship to make a replica) of the Klåstad ship «Saga Farmann». Now it's the biggest of them all, the Gokstad ship, that is up next.
Over the next few years, anyone can follow and / or participate in the construction of an archaeological replica of the Gokstad ship. Centrally located in both Sandefjord and Tønsberg there are construction activities. The Viking park is a part of Badeparken, between Scandic Park Hotel and the ferry terminal in Sandefjord.
Right next to the famous Whaling Monument in Sandefjord, there is a landing site for large oak logs to be split and chopped into ship planks. Various ship parts will be produced here. All work will be done with the same kind of tools and old techniques from the Viking Age. Here you can learn old traditional crafts.
The ship parts will be transported from Sandefjord to Tønsberg by Viking ship. In Tønsberg, where the Viking shipyard itself is located, the parts will be further processed and mounted on the ship. Here you will also have the opportunity to follow and participate in the construction down on "Vikingodden" in the middle of Tønsberg harbor.

Hvittensand Beach The large sandy beach banks has been named one of Norway's finest beaches, and for generations it was one of the most popular beaches in The Larvik fjord. This is due to the large amounts of white, fine sand in beautiful sand dunes that stretched far out into the fjord and became an impressive beach paradise. The mighty dunes has been erected by Lågen for the last approximately 5000 years. Today, the bustling beach life in the summer is almost gone due to the expansion of the harbor on the Revet (the reef) on the opposite side, where large amounts of rock have been added, and caused the water to rise into Hvittensand.
Be careful! It is warned against swimming on the river side due to dangerous undercurrents in Lågen / Lågen's outlet.
Access via the Coastal Path between Østre Halsen and Gon which passes the swimming area. There are rubbish bins on the beach and along the coastal path there is also an outdoor toilet. Not wheelchair accessible.
