Lupinmark, Askøvej – The Lupin Fields of Landet
A simple Lolland farm field turned into a shimmering sea of lupins, where color, scent and wide-open skies create a brief but unforgettable countryside pause.
Just outside the village of Landet on western Lolland, Lupinmark at Askøvej 21 is a sweeping field planted with colorful lupins. In late spring and early summer, the gently rolling plot turns into a sea of purple, pink, blue and white flower spikes, framed by open farmland and big Danish skies. This small, unfenced roadside attraction is simple but striking, inviting a short stop to walk along the edges, take photos and enjoy the scent of blooming lupins in the countryside air.

Local tips
- Aim for late May to early summer for the most spectacular lupin bloom, when the field turns into dense bands of purple, pink and white flowers.
- Wear sturdy shoes; you will be walking on grass verges and uneven field edges rather than paved paths.
- Treat the field as private agricultural land: avoid stepping deep into planted rows and never pick the flowers.
- Bring a camera or phone with plenty of battery, as the colours and long perspectives are ideal for close-ups and wide shots.
- Combine your stop here with other nature spots on Lolland for a relaxed half-day of scenic countryside exploring.

Getting There
-
Car from Nakskov
From Nakskov town centre, driving to Askøvej 21 on western Lolland typically takes about 20–25 minutes. The route follows main country roads across flat farmland and is straightforward. There is usually informal roadside space or farm entrances nearby where you can pull off carefully, but no marked car park. The drive is free aside from fuel costs, and you should be prepared for narrow rural roads and slow-moving farm vehicles, especially in harvest season.
-
Car from Maribo
Reaching Lupinmark from Maribo by car usually takes around 25–30 minutes via regional roads that cross the island toward the west. The journey passes through typical Lolland countryside with light traffic outside peak holiday periods. There are no formal parking facilities at the field, so drivers generally stop along wider verges or nearby farm tracks, making sure not to block access. Travel costs are limited to fuel, and the route is suitable for standard vehicles year-round in normal weather.
-
Bicycle from nearby villages
Cycling to Askøvej 21 from nearby villages such as Søllested or smaller hamlets in the area normally takes 20–40 minutes, depending on your starting point and pace. The terrain is almost entirely flat, and you share the road with local traffic, including tractors, so a high-visibility vest and lights are useful even in daytime. There is no dedicated bike parking, but you can safely lean a bicycle against a fence or hedge while you visit the field. This is a free and pleasant option in mild, dry weather.

A Rainbow Field on Rural Lolland
Lupinmark at Askøvej 21 is a cultivated flower field on the quiet western side of Lolland, a few kilometres from the hamlet of Landet. Here, a once ordinary agricultural plot has been transformed into a vivid canvas of lupins in many different shades. From late May into early summer, tall spires of purple, pink, blue and white flowers ripple across the field, creating a striking contrast against the low horizon and wind-brushed crops around it. There is no gate or grand entrance; Lupinmark feels more like stumbling upon a secret garden beside a country road. The simplicity is part of its charm. You arrive straight into open landscape: rows of lupins, a narrow verge or field edge to walk along, and skies that seem to stretch endlessly above the island.Seasonal Spectacle and Flowering Time
Lupins are hardy perennials, and at Lupinmark they are planted in generous sweeps so their flowering peaks around late spring and early summer. At that time the field becomes almost painterly, with dense clusters of blossoms rising from lush green foliage. On cloudy days the colours appear velvety and rich; in bright sun they glow against the pale sandy soil. Outside the main bloom period, the field looks quieter and more agricultural, with foliage and seed pods replacing the showy spikes. Visiting in shoulder seasons can still be rewarding if you enjoy rural walks, but the full visual impact comes when the flowers are at their height, and bees and other pollinators are busy weaving through the blossoms.Atmosphere of a Danish Backroad Stop
The mood at Lupinmark is unhurried and distinctly rural. You hear the wind in nearby trees and hedges, the distant sound of tractors, and the soft hum of insects working the flowers. The surrounding farmland is flat to gently rolling, so your view stretches far, taking in red-roofed farmhouses, shelterbelts of trees and, on clear days, a big dome of sky. Because the site is modest in size and lacks formal facilities, visits tend to be short and contemplative. It is the kind of place where you might sit on a low verge, watch light and clouds move over the field, and simply enjoy ten or twenty minutes of colour and scent before continuing your journey through Lolland.Photography and Respectful Wandering
Lupinmark lends itself naturally to photography. The repeating rhythm of flower spikes creates leading lines, while subtle variations in height and colour provide depth in images. Soft evening light often works best, when the sun is low and the field glows with warm tones, but even overcast days can produce atmospheric shots with saturated hues. Although it is a tourist attraction, the land is still privately owned and cultivated. Visitors typically stay on paths, grass verges or obvious tracks to avoid trampling plants. Being mindful of crops and respecting any informal boundaries keeps the field in good condition and preserves the experience for others, as well as for the owners who choose to maintain it as a floral landmark.A Quiet Counterpoint to Bigger Lolland Sights
In a region known for coastal nature reserves, beaches and larger attractions, Lupinmark offers a gentler, low-key stop. It pairs naturally with scenic drives along Lolland’s south coast or with visits to nearby forests and bird-rich reserves. The field works well as a brief detour: a pause to stretch your legs, breathe in the sweet, slightly peppery fragrance of lupins and collect a handful of colourful photos before heading on. For travellers who enjoy small, characterful places rather than big-ticket sights, Lupinmark becomes a memorable detail in a wider exploration of the island’s countryside, embodying the quiet pleasures of Denmark’s rural backroads.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
