Telemark Offers a Wide Variety of Great Swimming Spots - from family-friendly lakes and shallow beaches to smooth coastal rocks, glacial potholes, and scenic coastal gems, Telemark has it all.
Along the coast, you’ll find popular spots like Rognstranda in Bamble and Krogshavn in Langesund, both known for their beautiful beaches and excellent facilities. Inland, lakes like Nisser—with its white sandy beaches—and Treungen—with its spectacular glacial potholes—invite you to swim in clean freshwater surrounded by stunning natural landscapes.
For families, there are many well-equipped swimming areas such as Bakkestranda in Skien and Olavsberget in Porsgrunn, offering sandy beaches, diving towers, and restroom facilities. On rainy days, or if you prefer indoor pools, Skien Leisure Park or the Water Park in Langesund are great alternatives.
If you're after speed and excitement, we recommend a visit to Bø Sommarland or Hulfjell Water Park.
Whether you're looking for peace and quiet in nature or fun in the water with the whole family, you're guaranteed to find the perfect spot in Telemark.
