Sandefjord
De grønne turene
Discover ten marked walking trails through woodland and countryside across Sandefjord municipality.
De grønne turene, or The Green Trails, is an annual programme of ten marked walking routes across Sandefjord municipality. The trails invite you to discover new woodland paths, viewpoints and rural landscapes in Andebu, Høyjord, Kodal, Stokke and Sandefjord. New routes are selected each year, offering residents and visitors fresh opportunities to explore the area's natural surroundings.
Ten trails – new places to discover
The Green Trails offer a variety of outdoor experiences. Some routes wind through woodland and over hills, while others cross farmland or pass places of local historical interest. Some walks are relatively easy, while others involve steeper climbs and more challenging terrain. Choose a route that suits your experience, whether you prefer a shorter outing or a longer walk through the countryside. During the designated season, routes are normally marked with yellow ribbons. Information is provided at the starting points, and Sandefjord municipality publishes maps and route descriptions.
Explore more of Sandefjord on foot
The Green Trails are an opportunity to discover parts of Sandefjord you might otherwise miss. Along the way, you can enjoy peaceful woodland, find new viewpoints and explore the countryside beyond the most familiar walking destinations. The programme dates back to 1993 and is organised through cooperation between volunteers, landowners, local associations and Sandefjord municipality. For more walking ideas, explore Sandefjord's Urban Walking Trails, featuring five marked routes near the town centre, or the Sandefjord Ten Peaks Walk for a longer hilltop adventure.
More ways to enjoy the outdoors
If you prefer coastal scenery, follow the Vesterøya and Folehavna Coastal Trail, which passes woodland, rocky shores and open coastal landscapes. You can also find walking suggestions and organised outdoor activities through DNT Sandefjord.
