Eikern in Hof

Eikern is Vestfold's largest lake, but half the water is located in Buskerud. It is one of two main sources of drinking water in Vestfold, but the water is so deep that it is still allowed to swim and drive a boat there. The water contains several coves suitable for swimming and there are public bathing areas – Verkstedsstranda by the power station at Eidsfoss and at Thorrud Camping.

Bergsvannet in Eidsfoss

Bergsvannet is called "the warm water" by locals, as it is shallow and can therefore offer mostly pleasant bathing temperatures all summer. Right next to Eidsfoss ironworks worker's area "Gata", there is a sandy beach with a nice grassy spot. Parking and toilet only 25 meters from the beach.
