ABOUT FÆRDER NATIONAL PARK
Færder National Park was established to protect coastal landscapes, ecosystems, geology, and cultural heritage on both land and sea in the outer Oslofjord. It is one of Norway’s most biologically diverse coastal areas.
The park includes rare habitats such as deciduous forests, coastal pine forests, coastal meadows, and traditional hayfields, as well as kelp forests, eelgrass meadows, soft seabeds, and shell-sand areas beneath the sea. These environments support a rich diversity of plants, animals, and marine life.
The national park also protects historical sites and offers visitors opportunities for peaceful nature experiences and simple outdoor recreation.
Færder National Park covers 340 square kilometres of mainland, islands, skerries, and seabed within Færder municipality. It stretches from Ormøy in the north to Færder Lighthouse in the south, and includes Verdens Ende, Moutmarka, and the islands south of Hvasser.
