- Bring binoculars or a lightweight spotting scope; the birds are often at some distance across fields and wetlands.
- Dress for wind and cooler temperatures than in town, as the exposed platform can feel chilly even on bright days.

- There are no facilities directly at the tower, so use restrooms and stock up on drinks and snacks in Marielyst beforehand.

Getting There
-
Car from central Marielyst
From the central Marielyst beach and holiday area, driving to the Bird Watching Tower near Trevlekronevej typically takes about 5–10 minutes, depending on traffic. Roads are paved and suitable for all standard vehicles. Parking is informal and limited along nearby rural roads, so avoid blocking field entrances or private driveways. There is no fee for access, and driving costs are standard Danish fuel prices for a very short trip.
-
Bicycle from Marielyst resort area
Cycling from Marielyst’s main holiday streets to the tower usually takes 15–25 minutes along relatively flat country roads. The route uses a mix of local lanes and stretches that may lack dedicated cycle paths, so riders should be comfortable sharing the road with cars. This is a good option in spring, summer and early autumn; in winter, darkness and wind can make the ride less comfortable. There is no dedicated bike parking, but bicycles can be leaned against the base of the tower off the roadway.
-
Taxi within southern Falster
Local taxis from Marielyst or Væggerløse can reach the Bird Watching Tower in around 5–10 minutes of driving. Fares within this short distance are typically in the range of 80–160 DKK one way, depending on time of day and company. Taxis must usually be booked by phone in advance, especially outside the main summer season, and there is no dedicated drop-off area, so drivers will stop briefly on the rural road nearest the access path.

Falster’s Open Skies and Quiet Wetlands
The Bird Watching Tower near Marielyst stands in the gently undulating farmland and low wetlands of southern Falster, a short distance from the Baltic Sea. From ground level, the landscape feels wide and open, but once you climb the tower’s steps you gain an entirely different perspective over reedbeds, drainage ditches and wide fields that draw waders, geese and birds of prey. This part of Falster lies along important migration corridors, so throughout the year you may see flocks moving overhead in shifting formations, or individual raptors circling on rising air currents. The tower’s unobtrusive design helps you blend quietly into the scene, encouraging slow observation rather than spectacle.A Simple Structure with a Clear Purpose
The tower itself is a modest, functional construction in wood and metal, raised just high enough to clear nearby vegetation and buildings. A straight flight of steps leads to a viewing platform with protective railings, and open sides provide long, horizontal views across the landscape. There are no elaborate visitor facilities built onto the structure; its role is to lift you slightly above the everyday, not to overwhelm the setting. Expect a utilitarian, almost rural feel: creaking boards underfoot, the scent of weathered timber, and wind passing freely through the open platform. On cooler days that exposure can feel bracing, but it is precisely this simplicity that concentrates attention on sky, light and movement.Birdlife Through the Seasons
Depending on the time of year, the surrounding fields can host different casts of avian characters. In spring and autumn, migratory ducks, geese and shorebirds use Falster’s lowlands as resting and feeding grounds on journeys between Arctic breeding areas and milder wintering sites further south. Summer can bring the more settled routines of breeding songbirds in hedgerows, swallows swooping for insects, and perhaps marsh or harrier species quartering the fields. Winter has a quieter, more austere beauty: bare fields, distant tree lines and sharp, low sunlight. Flocks of wintering geese and corvids add movement and sound to an otherwise stripped-back scene. Even if bird activity is subdued, the sense of space and changing weather is compelling in itself.A Calming Pause Near a Busy Beach Town
Marielyst is known for its broad sandy beach and holiday life, yet just a few minutes inland the mood shifts to something slower and more contemplative. The Bird Watching Tower offers a short but effective escape from cafés and summer crowds, inviting you to listen instead to wind in reeds, distant farm machinery and birds calling overhead. The experience here is not about spending an entire day but about inserting a quiet interlude into a wider exploration of southern Falster. Many visitors combine a short stop at the tower with walks along minor roads or tracks, or with a broader circuit of coastal viewpoints and nature spots further south toward Gedser Odde.Practical Moments and Quiet Rituals
Despite its simplicity, a visit often develops its own small rituals: pausing at the base to scan the sky, climbing slowly to minimize disturbance, then settling for ten or fifteen minutes of focused looking. Binoculars or a small spotting scope are useful but not essential; even the naked eye can pick out silhouettes against the sky and patterns of movement across the land. Because the tower is open at all times, you can choose your own rhythm—dawn for soft light and active birds, midday for far-reaching views, or late evening when the land cools and silhouettes sharpen. Each visit reveals a slightly different combination of light, weather and wildlife, encouraging repeat trips for anyone staying in the area.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
