We were absolutely clear that it was Karljohansvern we wanted to go to.

What we were looking for that made us really want to live here was the combination of the feeling of living in a huge park, it's extremely beautiful, short distance to the sea, short distance to the city and we loved these old listed buildings.

So what's not to like?

I think that Karljohansvern is what makes Horten a very special town.

Then there's the combination of the extreme silence when you go out at night, when you don't hear anything, and then it's like almost any Saturday or Sunday if you're out and about, something is happening. Either at the garage square or at one of the museums or a concert.

It's a combination of great peace and lots of life. And then it's a ten-minute walk into town. This is the kind of place where you can put on your bathrobe at home and go down to swim both summer and winter. And then you meet neighbors who also come strolling across the grass in their bathrobes. And on a typical nice early summer morning, on a Saturday, you meet many neighbors who are down taking a morning bath and drinking coffee on the beach. So I think it's a place you can move to without knowing anyone and then you get to know someone. And the people who live there, they will welcome you. And I think that's completely unique about Horten.

I said it the other day, we had been to my parents' for a trip and were driving home, and then I got the feeling as we drove through town that ... now I'm driving home.

You can get a mooring during the day if you want it. It's not a given where I come from. We bought a boat and then we called on the way down and said we needed a mooring and it was ready when we got down.

We cycle a lot. Love cycling, love going for walks. Have dinner on the beach or afternoons on the beach. That it's 200 meters and you're sitting and looking out at the Oslofjord on a beautiful beach. I think that's what I appreciate the most.

The office is in Oslo. That's where we live, but I'm mostly out with clients. So I could basically live anywhere, but it's a great starting point here.

When you have a home office here, you can take five minutes and then you go down to that bench there when there are some waves and stuff and wind, and then you get your head blown off, and then you're ready to go back to work more.

I work in Tønsberg and spend some time at home, but mostly at the office, and I think it's a perfect distance because it's exactly 20 kilometers each way, which is great. And there's a bike path from door to door.

People from the Oslo area think it's really short, but down here they call it commuting. So Hortens people commute to Tønsberg and it's 20 minutes. Because they think you either walk to work or you commute.

There is a coastal path that runs all the way around Karljohansvern. It is five km long and is great for running, walking and cycling. It runs along the sea all the way and is perhaps one of the things that also makes this a very attractive hiking area.
