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.

The Borre Park has a vast numbers of burial mounds, many of them very spectacular. The site has been used for burials through a long time span, from the early Iron age, about 2000 years ago and continuesly used, almost up to our days. If you include the cemetery of The Pilgrimage Church of Borre.

This is a protected forest with varied trees. Lots of animals, insects and flowers. It is not allowed to chop trees so this is a special place. There are many nice trails crosswise
