Molen in Brunlanes is a national treasure and one of Larvik’s most popular attractions. Molen is Norway's largest beach of rolling stones, and it is a part of Vestfoldraet: the terrain left behind after the end of the most recent Ice Age 10.000 years ago. The cultural landscape of Molen, with its total of 230 cairns from the Iron Age, is one of the most majestic in Norway. The area has 16 large cairns, many up to 35 meters in diameter, with almost 200 small cairns in rows parallel to the shoreline. The cairns probably served as sea markers along the shipping lanes between different trading centres. This, combined with its striking natural beauty and position on the edge of the sea, makes it a must-see when visiting the area. You can enjoy a lovely view out to sea here and also study the beautiful species of stone called larvikite, a speciality for the Larvik area. Actually there are more than 100 different species of rock at Molen, and a total of 316 different bird species has also been found. The arrival and departure of the migratory birds is a real spectacle. Twice a year the migrants visit wonderful Molen, heading north in spring and eventually heading back south in autumn. In the summer of 2008 Molen was officially made into an UNESCO Geopark Area. If you want to get to Molen by manual means, the coastal path is easily accessible from either Helgeroa or Nevlunghavn.

This geo park has all the explanations one can need about the formation of rocks. There is an exhibition of rocks as old as 1500 million years!!! The park is huge and if the weather is nice and you feel adventurous, you can hike down to the beach through millions of years worth of perfectly rounded stones, and dip your feet in the cold water.

A civilised man ( or woman) is an unnatural object: a biological entity with straitjacketed emotions and instinctuality. Most of us seek a momentary escape, to be in peace with oneself, to be in harmony with nature. Some of us feel this urge more strongly than others. Huk beach illustrates the Norwegian society's maturity to accommodate and provide space for all. The beach has two distinct sections: one a textile beach and the other , textile free. The two beaches are visible to each other across a rocky creek, but separated, accessibility between the two provided by a narrow ramshackle path. We visited both. Huk is easily accessible by public transport. it is the last stop of bus route no 30. You can just walk across from the bus stop. A straight road between two car parks take you past a volleyball and a basketball court, a series of free toilets( rarity in Oslo) to the Textile beach. If you take the path going right just before the volleyball court, you reach the naturist beach. The Textile beach has a kiosk selling drinks, coffee and ice-cream. We were told that they sell sandwiches too, but the machine was out of order. The nudist beach has a shower, a small kiosk selling sundry food/drinks. The nudist beach is sandy, with a rocky shore, most rocks being covered with green moss. An absolute peaceful beach with no revellers or gawkers. On a particularly hot day, you could move your mat to the shade of the trees around. Ideal for enjoying nature's bliss for a couple of hours or more. There is only one discordant note. The beach is not very well maintained. Unlike the beaches in Cote d'azure the civic body does not appear to spend much on maintaining its cleanliness. We were told that the Sunset on Huk is beautiful. We could not make it for want of time.
