== Geography == [[File:Andebu herredshus back side.jpg|thumb|Town Hall.]] Andebu was located in the interior central parts of [[Vestfold]] County. Most of Andebu is forested, but numerous rivers and mountains can also be found in Andebu. Rivers include [[Merkedamselva]], which flows through eastern parts of the village of [[Høyjord]]. Steinselva (Skorgeelva), Bergselva and Bølevannsbekken are other rivers in Andebu. Lakes in Andebu included Stålerødvannet, Heievannet, [[Goksjø]], and others. The highest points of the former municipality are in northwestern parts near the village of Høyjord. Some peaks include [[Brånafjell]], which is the tallest peak in [[Sandefjord]] municipality, as well as Åletjønnåsen and Storås. Smaller peaks include Bustingen, Skørsåsane, and Storås by Skjeau. The municipality of Andebu was home to 35 lakes, including the {{convert|0.37|km2|acre|adj=on}} [[Askjemvannet]], which was the largest lake in Andebu.
