    Worth the slight incline of a walk to get to the top. Lovely views down the fjord towards the sea, lovely views inland. Impressive stone structure.

    Lovely place for a nice walk and a meal on the waterfront. Tonsberg itself is a beautiful small city, well worth a visit for it's history.

    Wonderful to see the Viking ship sat moored up in the harbour. A wonderful piece of craftsmanship surrounded by lovely restaurant along the harbour

    This museum shows some great historical artefacts of Norway. In the first room, the vikingship (merchant) Klåstad is on display. This was our main reason to visit, since the Vikingshipmuseum in Oslo has been closed for some years for major renovations.
    Other rooms cover Middle Ages and local whale hunting history, with a focus on the life of Foyn.
    The museums also has an interactive setup which will appeal to the younger visitors.
    It was not busy at all when we arrived on the first Sunday of September around 2.30pm and within one hour we saw everything on display.

    This one weekend event is like stepping back in time. The costumes, the shows, the market and activities. They try to show visitors what it might have been like living here in the middle ages. Lots to see and do. In 2019 the entrance was free.

    First floor is an art museum and second floor houses changing exhibitions. I enjoyed both floors and thought the combination was great. The museum isn't very big, although big enough for a small town like Tønsberg. It's absolutely worth a visit! There is also a small café there, with a porch overviewing a small park, which is a really nice spot for coffee, regardless of whether you are entering the museum or not.

    This small museum is really worth while to visit. Tonsberg is the oldest town in Norway - more than 1100 years old - and was always a maritim town with many sailors originating from here, including all the way back from the Wiking Age ! One of Norway's most renowned men, Svend Foyn, who revolutionized whale hunting by introducing an exploding harpun, was born and lived in Tonsberg, and there are many traces of him found in this mueum along with many other interesting exhibits.

    We parked the car in Tønsberg and took our bikes along the coastal bicycle route #1 towards Tjøme island and Verdens Ende. There is a separate bike path the entire way so we did not have to mix with cars at anytime. Impressive. There are some cafés, as well as a supermarket and gas stations along the path. You will also find a number of camping grounds. The scenery is mostly farmland and some forest, while Verdens Ende features stunning views of bare cliffs with open sea towards the North Sea.

    Which the tall leaf trees, almost like the Sherwood forest from Robin Hood. It is a small spot, and it doesn't take more than ten minutes to cross the wood, but give it a try anyway, in April it is a white and beautiful blanket of flowers there.

    Jordan Peterson says go to church! Young men welcome here.

    Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
