Getting There
-
Public Transport
Travelers from central Falster can reach Vordingborg by regular train services (Danish State Railways); expect journeys averaging 20–35 minutes depending on schedule, with single adult tickets typically in the DKK 50–70 range. From Vordingborg station, local buses or taxis cross the Storstrøm Bridge to Masnedø. The fort is visible as you approach the island, just beyond the bridge itself. The final segment by local bus is under 10 minutes (DKK 24–32), while taxis cost around DKK 100–130 from the station. Note: Bus services are less frequent on weekends and in winter.
-
Driving
Drivers coming from Falster cross the Storstrøm or Farø bridges, approaching Masnedø via Vordingborg. The fortress is signposted shortly after reaching Masnedø island, close to the base of the Storstrøm Bridge. Parking is free at the site, but spaces are limited during events, so arrive early on busy days.
-
Cycling
Cyclists will find this an atmospheric ride across either of the scenic bridges, with excellent paths linking Falster and Vordingborg. The fort sits on flat ground near the island’s shoreline, and there are dedicated bike racks just outside the entrance.
