Brodr. Berggren seafood – catering

The location of Brødrene Berggren is central – in the middle of the harbour in Sandefjord. A rich selection of fish and other seafood is offered here, with the main emphasis on the local short-traveled food; – what the fishermen at their three receptions have caught.

In the production, fillets are cut by hand so that the quality of the fish is maintained in the best possible way. Brødrene Berggren have their own smokehouse, where all the smoked fish you find in the shop is produced the old-fashioned way.

You can order food for an event, such as shellfish table, seafood table, herring table and other temptations. See the menu on Brødrene Berggren's website.

Brødrene Berggren's highest wish is to give all customers a good shopping experience, followed by a good dining experience!

In addition to being the starting point for many of the tourist association's blue-marked trails, the cabin is also connected to two nature/cultural trails: Svartåa cultural trail (9.7 km) and Heia-Vestby cultural trail (7.6 km). Sandefjord Tourist Association has also marked a permanent nature trail around Heivannet with 10 posts. The cabin has a nice local area with opportunities for fishing, swimming and picking berries and mushrooms. In winter, ski slopes are often groomed in the area around Setra. Heisetra is adapted for children and the disabled. Starting from this cabin, you can walk on marked paths all the way up to Hardangervidda.

The Children's Tour Association has prepared four small maps with tips for four child-friendly tours in the area: Tour to Grevesteinen (approx. two km each way, great view from the top), Tour to Slira dam, Upper and northern Heivann round (approx. four km) and Heivannet round (about two km).

The maritime museum has the exhibition proud ships on world’s oceans which shows pictures and models of ships.

There is a lot of exciting and dramatic stories about the ships and their destiny and the captains and their merits, that you can explore.

On the first floor the exhibition discoverers and adventurers take place. The exhibition displays 8 Larvikings that have challenged the ocean and the forces of nature more than most people. Their expeditions have had different purposes; some to prove a theory or to reach a goal, others for the pure excitement of an adventure. All of them have helped Larvik and Norway to get recognised. In the exhibition you will get to know Oscar Wisting, Thor Heyerdahl and Carl Anton Larsen.
