Færderstien is a continuous, signposted walking and cycling route through Færder municipality, stretching from Kaldnesbanen near Tønsberg to Verdens Ende at the southern tip of Tjøme. The approximately 28-kilometre route passes through woodland, residential areas and established pedestrian and cycle paths. You can follow the entire route or choose a shorter section.
From Nøtterøy to Tjøme
Færderstien connects walking and cycling routes across much of the municipality. On Nøtterøy, it passes through areas including Teieskogen, Vestskogen, Nøtterøy Prestegård and Borgheim before continuing south towards Tjøme. The surroundings change along the way, from woodland to residential neighbourhoods and more open stretches. The route has been planned to avoid the busiest roads wherever possible, making it an option for both shorter outings and longer walks or cycle rides.
Finish your journey at Verdens Ende
At its southern end, Færderstien reaches Verdens Ende – The World's End on Tjøme. Here, smooth coastal rocks, small islands and views across the Skagerrak create a memorable setting. The distinctive tipping lighthouse is one of the area's best-known landmarks. Verdens Ende is a gateway to Færder National Park and its coastal landscapes.
