Coastal trail in Stavern

The coastal trail in Stavern forms part of a 35-kilometre marked walking route through Brunlanes in Larvik. The full trail stretches from Stavern via Nevlunghavn, Mølen and Helgeroa to Tvedalen. Along the way, you will pass through woodland, across rocky coastal landscapes and beside sandy beaches overlooking the Skagerrak. Choose a short outing from Stavern or walk a longer section of the coast.

From Fredriksvern to Minnehallen
A convenient place to begin is Fredriksvern, the historic naval dockyard in Stavern. The area has preserved military buildings, coastal views and paths through its historic surroundings.
Continue towards Minnehallen, the pyramid-shaped national memorial commemorating Norwegian seafarers who lost their lives during wartime. The hill offers views across the sea and nearby islands. The memorial itself has seasonal opening hours, but the surrounding area can also be visited outside summer.

Towards Rakke and Naverfjorden
Beyond Minnehallen, the coastal trail continues west towards Rakke, where open rocky shores and low coastal vegetation overlook the sea. Much of the section between Stavern and Rakke has improved accessibility. However, wheelchair users and visitors with pushchairs should consult the municipality's map to identify the specifically accessible stretches.
At Rakke, a small coastal museum provides information about local nature and history during the summer season. Further west, the trail passes the Naverfjorden area, where sandy beaches and campsites offer opportunities to stop by the water.

Along the coastline to Nevlunghavn
The route continues through a varied coastal landscape of woodland, grassy shores, sandy beaches and smooth rocks. Nevlunghavn is a pleasant place to stop. This small fishing village is known for its white wooden houses, harbour and boats. During summer, you can find places to eat and drink around the harbour. It is also a natural place to finish a shorter section of the walk.

From Nevlunghavn to Mølen
From Nevlunghavn, the coastal trail continues approximately 2.5 kilometres to Mølen.
Here, the landscape opens towards the sea, with extensive pebble shores, ancient burial mounds and geological traces of the last Ice Age. Mølen is a protected heritage and natural area within Gea Norvegica UNESCO Global Geopark. Leave stones and archaeological remains undisturbed and respect the local birdlife. The coastal trail continues towards Helgeroa and Tvedalen for walkers wishing to explore further.

Choose the right section
The coastal trail is a walking route with several possible starting points. Surfaces vary from established walking paths to woodland trails, grassy shorelines and exposed rocks. Some sections are relatively easy, while others are uneven. The trail is marked in blue on posts, trees and rocks, with information boards at several parking areas. The entire route is not suitable for cycling or pushchairs.

Walking is possible in different seasons when weather and ground conditions allow. Wear suitable footwear and take care on wet rocks and slippery paths. For route maps and accessibility information, visit the official Larvik Municipality coastal trail page. You can also explore more walking and coastal trails in Vestfold.

 

Plan your visit

The Brunlanes coastal trail connects Stavern, Nevlunghavn, Mølen, Helgeroa and Tvedalen. Walk the full route or choose a shorter section with a separate starting point.

Distance and terrain

Trailheads and parking

Waymarking and accessibility

Good to know
The full trail is a long point-to-point walk. Arrange return transport and check current bus services with VKT. Walking conditions depend on weather and ground conditions, and wet coastal rocks may be slippery. Mølen is protected.

Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri – Courses & Conferences

Host your next strategy session, leadership retreat or small conference at Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri – a historic seaside “badehotell” in the charming fishing village of Nevlunghavn on the Skagerrak coast.

A Calm Coastal Venue for Focused Meetings
Since 1920, Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri has welcomed guests looking for calm, fresh sea air and time to focus. Today, it’s a cosy, intimate venue ideal for smaller groups who value atmosphere and personal service.

The hotel has 15 beautifully decorated double rooms, all with a warm, classic feel. Slip into the soft bathrobe waiting in your room, bring your morning coffee for a short stroll down to the sea, and start the day with a refreshing dip before your meeting. It’s the kind of start that clears the head before the work begins.

Between sessions, participants can relax in the hotel’s historic lounges – in a wicker chair by the fireplace, with a slice of cake or a drink in hand – and let new ideas surface after inspiring discussions in the meeting room. Here, sea views and salty air are part of the agenda: strategic thinking really does feel clearer when you can look straight out towards the horizon.

Discover Coastal Experiences Just Steps From Your Meeting Room
To break up the meeting day, the hotel can help you arrange:

Boat trips or pulling your own lobster pots and crab traps
Cycling tours in the surrounding area
A walk to Omrestranda for a sauna session and a dip in the sea
A visit to Nerdrum Museum or the local vineyard Holtens
A guided historical talk about the hotel and Nevlunghavn’s rich seaside heritage
You can also simply wander through idyllic Nevlunghavn, with its narrow lanes and well-kept wooden houses – a slow, authentic Norwegian coastal village experience.

Tailored Dining with True Coastal Ingredients
With the Skagerrak on the doorstep, the kitchen works with fresh, local ingredients delivered daily. At Nevlunghavn Brygge, the hotel’s own fish reception supplies prawns, langoustine, fish and lobster, and the rustic Bredalsbua on the quay can also be used as part of your event setting.
If your group has special wishes for menus or dining formats, the chef and team do their utmost to tailor the experience – from casual seafood evenings on the pier to more formal multi-course dinners.

Personal, Flexible and Truly Local
At Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri, you don’t just book a meeting room – you get a small, dedicated team that follows your group from planning to departure. They are used to adapting to different group needs and cultures, and almost nothing is impossible:
