==Recreation== [[File:Sundås_batteri_-_vei_opp_til_standplasser.jpg|thumb|right|Trail to Sundås Fort.]] Hiking trails can be found at Trælsodden, Løke, Høgåsen, Grorudvannet, Feen, Furulund, Ramsum, and Borgeskogen. Coastal hiking paths make up a total of {{convert|14|km}} in former municipality.<ref name="EL2">{{Cite book |last=Larsen |first=Erlend |title=På Tur i Vestfold del 2 |publisher=E-forlag |year=2011 |isbn=9788293057222 |language=no}}</ref>{{rp|347}} Coastal hiking trails can be found in [[Melsomvik]] and also a trail connecting [[Storevar]] and [[Rakkevik]]. A {{convert|3|km|adj=on}} forest hike can be found at Løke, which is a popular forest for collecting mushrooms. A mountain trail is located by [[Høgåsen]], the highest point in the former municipality with an elevation of {{convert|172|m}}. The peak can be reached from two trails: from Langevann in [[Re, Norway|Re]] or from [[Grorudvannet]] in Stokke. The shortest hike is from Grorudvannet.<ref name="EL2" />{{rp|122-124, 243}} Trælsodden by the [[Tønsbergfjorden]] is home to several [[burial mound]]s as well as fortifications dated to [[Norway during World War II|World War II]]. Sandy beaches, diving boards and hiking trails can also be found at Trælsodden.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2015-09-21 |title=Disse 10 fotturene er de beste i Vestfold |language=no |work=[[Sandefjords Blad]] |url=https://www.sb.no/turtips-i-vestfold/tur-i-vestfold/friluftsliv/disse-10-fotturene-er-de-beste-i-vestfold/s/5-73-77483?ns_campaign=article&ns_mchannel=recommend_button&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=facebook&ns_fee=0 |access-date=2018-12-10}}</ref> At Trælsodden are graves dated to the [[Iron Age]]. At the time, sea levels were {{convert|4–5|m}} higher than today, and the graves were consequentially placed near the shoreline. A popular fishing site is located between Trælsodden and [[Brunstad Conference Center|Brunstad]]. The trail goes by the municipal beach at Brunstad, immediately south of [[Oslofjord Convention Center]]. During summers, convenience stores and seafood restaurants are open at Brunstad. From Brunstad, the coastal path heads inwards and passes through the Himalayapark, a park offering tree climbing. The trail passes by a home built by singer [[Jahn Teigen]], known as "Teigen's Pyramid". The trail reaches a beach before entering the boat harbor in Rakkevik. It is a {{convert|3.5|km|adj=on}} hike from [[Storevar]] to [[Melsomvik]], and a similar distance between Melsomvik and Brunstad.<ref name="EL2" />{{rp|358-362}}
