Experience the adventure along the Coastal Trail on the Telemark coast in Bamble and let yourself be inspired by the beautiful nature. Incredible viewpoints, idyllic paths along the water's edge, and lovely forest sections await you here. The nature offers an abundance of variety, and the pearls lie before you in a row, ready to be discovered. Perhaps you will feel like you're in Norway's answer to Cinque Terre when you take a walk here?
The routes cater to every taste, with varying difficulty levels and diverse scenery along the way. Each stage has its own character. Different stages have been planned, and if you only want to do certain stages or detours to other beautiful hiking areas, you have the opportunity to do so. Stop by one of these delightful dining establishments: Havparadiset in Hafsund, Sjøterrassen restaurant or La Vela restaurant in Valle, and enjoy a good meal. For golf enthusiasts, it's worth visiting Bamble Golf Club, where they offer drop-in play.
You can have a base vacation at one of the charming places along the coast and hike different stages every day. Feel free to combine the hike with a Coastal Cruise (Skjærgårdscruise) from Langesund to Valle in summer, or use a taxi to reach the desired starting point or return from the endpoint of the day's stage. This way, you have the freedom to arrange your stages as it suits you.
Furthermore, Bamble municipality offers a Coastal Bus (Skjærgårdsbuss), which gives you the opportunity to experience the beautiful archipelago in Bamble. The bus takes you along the coast from Langesund and southwards to Valle. You can hop on and off at various stops along the bus route and use the coastal trail for parts of the journey. Take the time to swim in the refreshing sea or enjoy a good meal at one of the dining establishments before taking the bus back in the afternoon. The bus is available from July 1st to July 31st, 2023, and with two daily departures, it provides the flexibility you need to explore this fantastic region.
