    Old navy base turned into a naval museum! You may even enter a debunked submarine, and a few old war ships. The museum had some interesting artifacts from different eras throughout norwegian naval history, from viking times to present day.

    The maritime museum is well worth a visit. You can even learn about our traditional enemies, the Brits, and all the damage they have done us.

    (English below) Fin halvøy med bra turområder, strender, historiske minner fra krigstida og et stort sjøkrigs-muse. Karljohansvern is a place you should visit if you are in Horten, and interrested in either: 1) Norwegian navy-history and how the half-island was used as part of Norway's navy defence during WW2 and the Cold War (and probably some other wars/events) 2) If just want to enjoy a walk along the coastline that goes along the east-side of the half-island while passing reminants of old navy artillery foundations 3) Just want to relax on one of the three beaches. -You can also find the city church somewhat in the middel of the half-island, in the same area as the Norwegian navy museum. -The museum has amongst other things an old submarine you can climb inside off. -The soutmost part of the half-island has a very nice and "cozy" forest area which takes you out to a park area, with a sheltered view of the Oslo fjord. There are at least 3 public toilet areas around the half-island, one at the museum, one at the beach near the "Tivoli" hill (almost at the end of it, close to a forest area) and one by the park area at the southmost part of the half-island.
