Tønsberg - Åsgårdstrand (Borre)
Tunsbergleden goes through the town center of Tønsberg along Storgaten, a street that has been in use since the Viking Age. From Slottsfjellet and Frodeåsen there are many viewpoints. In Åsgårdstrand you can visit the house of the famous artist Edvard Munch and spend the night at the Grand Hotel Åsgårdstrand with a pilgrim price. If you want to continue to Borre, the pilgrim path follows the coast in a beautiful nature reserve. At Borre lies a medieval church and between the church and the fjord you’ll find the world's largest collection of large heaps from the Viking Age, the Midgard Viking Center and the Guild Hall. There are accommodation possibilities near the Guild Hall on RS Noatun and at Thon Hotel Horten in the city center near the ferry terminal. The ferry to Moss provides a connection to trains, and to Borgleden on the eastside of the fjord.
