Kragenæs: Dodekalitten, Trails and Marina Beach

Kragenæs combines impressive culture with hiking trails, harbour life and a special bathing spot. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can combine different day-trip ideas here: a visit to Dodekalitten, a hike through Kragenæs and Klinteskoven, a cycling tour or time at Marina Beach. The ferries to Fejø and Femø are also part of the local orientation.

Dodekalitten and Glentehøj: two special destinations

Dodekalitten is the defining cultural experience in Kragenæs. The site consists of 12 stone columns. Each column is 7 to 9 metres high and weighs 25 to 45 tonnes. This makes a visit not only a cultural experience, but also a vivid encounter with extraordinary stone monuments.

Dodekalitten can be visited free of charge at any time throughout the year. During daylight hours, spatial electroacoustic music is played there every day throughout the year via a 12-channel sound system. This timing is relevant to planning your day: a visit can be incorporated into your stay independently of a specific event date, although the music is limited to daylight hours.

Glentehøj is located approximately 300 metres west of Dodekalitten. The burial mound was built around 3200 BC. Anyone interested in cultural history can include both destinations in their travel plans without conflating their different periods.

Hiking and cycling around Kragenæs

The Glentehøjstien leads from the town of Kragenæs to Glentehøj and passes Dodekalitten. In this way, the trail connects several of the destinations mentioned in one hike. Another option is the 5 km route “Oplev Kragenæs”. It leads through the town and harbour of Kragenæs, through Klinteskoven forest and past Dodekalitten.

For a longer excursion, the 36 km cycling route “De lollandske alper” is a good option. It starts and ends at Kragenæs harbour and is signposted with symbols. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether short discoveries on foot or a more extensive cycling tour should shape your holiday. The route information provides specific distances for your planning without specifying a particular walking or cycling time.

Harbour, Marina Beach and ferry connections

Kragenæs Marina Beach is part of Kragenæs harbour. There is a shallow jetty with a fine, stone-free sandy bottom that is suitable for children and adults. You can swim at the floating jetty and launch kayaks and windsurf boards into the water. This complements the cultural and historical destinations with an activity on the water and offers a different way to spend the day than hiking or visiting a museum.

Ferries run from Kragenæs to Fejø and Femø. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Kragenæs, these connections may play a role in planning your stay. Depending on your personal interests, you can therefore regard the town as a starting point for culture, trails, harbour and water activities. Above all, the right accommodation should suit the type of trip you are actually planning: a relaxed tour of discovery, active routes or days that bring several interests together.
