Discover Øster-Ulslev

Øster-Ulslev combines special landscape experiences with handicrafts and historical details. Those looking for a mix of activities, the local surroundings and cultural discoveries for their holiday will find various starting points here for planning each day. When looking for a holiday apartment in Øster-Ulslev, it is therefore worth first deciding which travel experiences you want: Should the focus be on a hike, a bike tour through the surrounding area or a peaceful day with a gallery, church and garden?

Hiking at Hejrede Sø and in the lake district

One specific option for active days is the approximately 4-kilometre hike from the pumping station at Hejrede Sø, Røgbøllevej 6, 4894 Øster Ulslev, to Godsted Mose. The route can be included as a separate item in your travel plans.

In the wider regional surroundings of Øster-Ulslev, Hejrede Sø is part of a lake district with four lakes: Søndersø, Røgbølle Sø, Hejrede Sø and Nørresø. These lakes are surrounded by large forest and marshland areas as well as agriculturally used land. This allows you to plan your excursions in different ways and choose between lakes, forest and marshland areas, and areas characterised by agriculture.

Cycling route and Høvængestenen

There is also a clearly named point of reference for a bike tour. The Munkevejen passes Høvængestenen and is signposted in Denmark as cycling route 88. Høvængestenen is located south of Øster Ulslev; there is an information board and a table-and-bench combination there. Those travelling by bicycle can include this place in their plans while taking the signposted route into account.

The various options speak in favour of accommodation from which you can structure your days according to your interests. For a trip with several generations or differing preferences, it may make sense not to force active and cultural activities into a single daily schedule, but instead to set a separate focus for each day. This leaves room for a hike, a bike tour or a visit to cultural sites.

Handicrafts and historical details

Galleri Courage displays paintings, ceramics and sculptures. Handmade knives and unique handicrafts can also be seen there. A possible visit requires particular attention to timing: Galleri Courage can open when the couple who live there are at home. Therefore, do not plan this activity as if it had fixed general opening hours; instead, take the stated condition into account when organising your day.

Øster Ulslev Church contains further noteworthy details. It has a Romanesque baptismal font made of limestone that was imported from Gotland. The church also has a pulpit from the High Renaissance dating from around 1625. These two furnishings provide different historical reference points for a cultural visit: the baptismal font points to the material and its origin, while the pulpit is assigned chronologically to the High Renaissance.

Kirstines Klosterhave is located at Brydebjergvej 16 in Øster Ulslev. Together with Galleri Courage and Øster Ulslev Church, this place expands the options for a quieter, culture-oriented day of travel. The addresses and locations help you consider, before booking a holiday apartment, what type of excursions should shape your stay.

Other places for orientation

For further orientation, you can also visit Nykøbing Falster, Nykøbing Falster, Kettinge, Listrup, Stubbekøbing, Toreby, Gedser and Gedesby. These additional destinations support regional planning without losing sight of the special experiences in Øster-Ulslev.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

If you choose Øster-Ulslev as a base for nature, cycling and culture, your accommodation should above all suit your planned daily rhythm. When looking for a holiday apartment, consider whether you would rather organise your stay around the approximately 4-kilometre hike, the Munkevejen or the cultural sites. The lake district in the wider surroundings, Galleri Courage, Øster Ulslev Church and Kirstines Klosterhave open up different ways of getting to know the area. This allows you to choose a holiday apartment in Øster-Ulslev specifically based on the travel experience that offers the greatest value for your group.
