Horten

The Oslofjord defines the setting of Horten — its sheltered western shore has long supported maritime travel, naval activity and a regular ferry link to Moss on the opposite bank. The town’s Karljohansvern district served as a principal base for the Royal Norwegian Navy and is home to the Royal Norwegian Navy Museum. Just north of town, Borre National Park preserves a remarkable group of Viking Age burial mounds, interpreted at the nearby Midgard Viking Centre. Horten combines an active fjord waterfront with traces of Norway’s seafaring and early medieval past.
