Bassengparken

The Basseng Park in Holmestrand

Bassengparken is a peaceful green recreation area in Holmestrand, originally built as a drinking water reservoir and transformed into a public park in the 1970s.

The park features walking trails around the water basins, rich birdlife and fish in the lakes. The park offers walking routes from 1-2 km. 

Bassengparken also includes a playground, picnic area, and tennis court, and the paths are well suited for wheelchairs and strollers.

The park is within walking distance of Holmestrand town centre and the train station via Søndre Sikksakk/Lallahompen or Nordre Klev.

Parking is available by the tennis court in Barlindveien.

Grytebakke Gård

Visit Grytebakke Farm – a day the kids won’t want to leave!
A real farm experience awaits where children can get close to the animals – for real. Meet everything from small Dexter cows and cuddly goats to mini pigs, llamas and horses, while enjoying nature and life in the countryside.

Open Farm – last Sunday of every month
On the last Sunday of each month, the farm opens its gates for a fun-filled day for the whole family:
– horse riding and jumping in the hay
– tractor and hay wagon rides
– playtime in the “Super Forest” with zipline and climbing areas
– farm café and simple refreshments

Learning through experiences
Grytebakke is also an “Inn på tunet” (Green Care) farm, where children learn through interacting with animals and taking part in simple farm activities. The focus is on achievement, safety and joy. The farm also welcomes kindergartens, school classes and youth groups.

Perfect for birthdays and groups
A children’s birthday party at Grytebakke is an experience in itself. Children can meet the animals, go riding, play in the forest and gather for food in the barbecue hut. Everything is organised, yet still informal and authentic. A farm birthday is an experience children will remember.

Courses, meetings and team building
The farm also caters for all types of groups and company events in a unique countryside setting. Meetings can be combined with activities such as:
– Super Forest Challenge
– practical team tasks
– woodworking courses or farm activities

An informal arena that creates team spirit and memorable experiences – also suitable for families and groups of friends.
