Gokstadholmen

Feel like travelling from boathouse to lighthouse along the coast?

The idea behind the Coastal Route is to create a network of overnight stops along the coast of the Oslo Fjord for travellers on foot or by rowboat or sailboat. The idea comes from the "oar change" of earlier times. In those days, nobody travelled simply for pleasure; travellers had business to transact. And if the journey covered long distances, the traveller had to change rowers as well as boats. At the turn of the last century there was usually an inn where travellers could rest or wait for better weather.

The Coastal Route lets you experience the coastal islands in an eco-friendly way with rowboats and simple lodging. The idea behind the Coastal Route is to educate travellers about the coastal cultural heritage and provide them with information about nature and outdoor recreation. They also wish to promote the sensible use of public properties that no longer serve their original purpose, such as lighthouses and former military sites.

The Coastal Route is open to the public. According to the Outdoor Recreation Act, anyone may travel along the route. Journeys are at the traveller's own risk. There are coastal routes in many places in Norway. In the Oslo Fjord there is a coastal route in the inner fjord and two in Vestfold. These will eventually be linked together.

THE GOKSTAD ISLAND – a treasure in the fjord
The idyllic litle island, Gokstadholmen outside Sandefjord has a small cabin called Drengestua located right next to the water.

You can come here with your own boat, or use the rowboat that belongs to the cabin. The cabin has veranda, kitchen, livingroom with ovn, diningroom and a loftroom. Outdoor toilet fasilities. Max 16 persons.
