if you want to experience spring at it's best the beech forest that crowns Larvik is a good choice
on a bright sunny day in early May
new leaves are unfolding
and the wood anemones are in full bloom
covering most of the forest floor in green and white
while the trees in the forest are almost exclusively beech, on the edge there are occasional maples and mountain ash
and when you reach the top there are a few benches where the view over the fjord is amazing.
by June the leaves will block most of the view
there is plenty of new growth
the forest is well maintained
with year-round trails perfect for skiing in the winter and walking the rest of the year.
