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.
