Holiday apartment in Lolland: Coast, islands and culture

Lolland combines a coastline stretching for more than 300 kilometres with island worlds, nature parks and unusual cultural sites. Dodekalitten, Maribo Cathedral, the Maribosøerne lake landscape and the Cykeløerne route each give the island its own character. There are also activities involving nature observation, history, art, ferry connections and regional specialities.

Nature and coastal landscapes

Nakskov Fjord Nature Park is part of Danske Naturparker. It includes ten large and small islands as well as the 7.5-kilometre-long spit of Albuen. The nature park also offers a protected kayaking area between islands, islets, bays and headlands. On the narrow Albuetangen, you can walk between the Langelandsbælt and Nakskov Fjord. Albuen encompasses impressive natural surroundings and a unique cultural environment that bears witness to human activity over several centuries.

Maribosøerne Nature Park includes Søndersø, Røgbølle Sø, Hejrede Sø and Nørresø, as well as their surrounding areas. The lakes lie in a manor landscape with fields, meadows, marshes and woodland. The nature park has been included in the Danske Naturparker labelling scheme of the Danish Outdoor Council. The nature centre at Maribo Søndersø offers nature experiences; in summer, boat trips on Søndersø with Anemonen are also available.

Culture and history

A prominent cultural site is Dodekalitten: On a Lolland field overlooking Smålandsfarvandet, the monument stands in a landscape steeped in history and combines sculpture and music. It consists of twelve stone columns, 7 to 9 metres high, arranged in a circle with a diameter of 40 metres. Paid guided tours of Dodekalitten are offered with the artist Thomas Kadziola.

In Maribo, the monastery ruins are located next to Maribo Cathedral and Maribosøerne Nature Park. The monastery ruins are open to visitors free of charge all year round. Maribo Cathedral was built in the 15th century as part of a double monastery and is now an important testimony to Maribo’s history and cultural heritage. Inside the church, visitors can see a gravestone and the crypt with the coffin. Pederstrup, a manor house museum that presents the Reventlow family and the lives of the aristocracy and servants 200 years ago, is also part of Lolland’s history.

Richard Winther’s House in Vindeby is a living work of art that combines painting, sculpture and photography. More than 55 original paintings cover its walls and ceilings. The Reventlow Park has an orienteering course available all year round, developed jointly with Maribo Orienteringsklub. Klosterruten is one of two modern pilgrimage routes that cross in Maribo.

Cycling routes and ferry connections

The 68-kilometre-long Cykeløerne route is a multi-day cycling tour along Lolland’s north coast and across the islands of Fejø, Femø and Askø. The route can be reached by ferry connections from Kragenæs to Femø, Fejø and Askø. Lolland Municipality has several ferry terminals for connections to Femø, Fejø and Askø, including two terminals in Kragenæs. On the islands along the Cykeløerne route, apples, apple juice and cider are part of local production.

Experiences

Knuthenborg Safaripark has large animal areas where visitors can observe savannah animals and predators from their vehicles. Limpopoland includes a large nature playground, a water slide, rafts, a zip line, climbing towers, a water playground and a maze. In the same park, visitors can wash out real fossils, work on pieces of limestone in the limestone quarry and take part in the excavation of a mysterious giant fossil.

Wine and regional produce

Lolland’s gastronomic offerings include local produce from the island’s fertile soil as well as fish from Smålandshavet and the Baltic Sea. Østergaard Vinmageri produces handcrafted speciality wines from locally grown grapes and fruit from its own vineyards. The winery offers group tours with tastings and sells its wines in the farm shop.
