context_page_description: Svelvik is a town and former municipality in Vestfold county, Norway, now a part of Drammen municipality in Viken county.
  The town of Svelvik was separated from the rural municipality of Strømm to become a municipality of its own in 1845. The two municipalities were merged back together on 1 January 1964.
context_section_description: The narrow Svelvikstrømmen sound separates Svelvik from the municipality of Hurum, and the county of Buskerud. This sound is served by a ferry, which has the shortest line in Norway.
  The village is quite characteristic, with small winding streets and traditional, white-painted houses. Svelvik has many venues for swimming and sunbathing.
caption: The Svelvik ferry line is the shortest in Norway.
