Vestfold

Vestfold is a county in the south of Norway, bordering Buskerud and Telemark. The county’s administration city is in Tønsberg, and the largest city is Sandefjord....

With the exception of Oslo county, Vestfold is the smallest county in Norway by area. Vestfold is located west of the Oslofjord, as its name indicates. It includes many smaller, but well-known towns in Norway, such as Larvik, Sandefjord, Tønsberg and Horten. These towns run from Oslo in an almost constant belt of urban areas along the coast. The river Numedalslågen runs through the county. Many islands are located at the coast. Vestfold is mostly lowlands and is among the best agricultural areas in Norway. Gulli, outside Tønsberg, was the site of an archaeological excavation. The graves and equipment of Vikings they found are on display at the Midgard Historical Centre in Borre.
