  • Wear or bring the socks and layers you usually hunt or hike in when trying on boots and jackets to get a realistic fit.
  • If you are new to local hunting or fishing, prepare specific questions about conditions and regulations to make the most of staff expertise.
  • For bulky purchases or multiple items, consider visiting with a car, as public transport connections in the industrial area can be limited outside peak times.

A hub for hunters on Denmark’s southern islands

Mertz Jagt & Fritid sits in a light industrial area of Nykøbing Falster, a short hop from fields, forests and coastline where much of the local hunting and fishing takes place. Step inside and you are greeted by long aisles of outdoor gear, from waterproof jackets in muted greens and browns to wool layers and robust footwear built for damp fields and cold hides. The atmosphere is practical and down‑to‑earth, with staff focused on helping customers match equipment to real conditions outdoors. The store has grown since it opened in the late 1990s into a regional reference point for hunters and anglers. Shelves are stacked not only with well‑known Scandinavian brands but also smaller specialist names, reflecting decades of experience with what works in Danish weather. It feels less like a generic sports shop and more like a compact outfitter aimed squarely at people who spend long hours outside.

Gunsmith workshop and specialist services

One of the defining features of Mertz Jagt & Fritid is its authorised weapons workshop tucked behind the main retail area. Here, trained gunsmiths service and repair a wide range of hunting firearms, from shotguns used on local bird hunts to rifles for deer and boar. For many visitors, combining a browse through the shop with dropping off or collecting a firearm from the workshop is part of the routine. The workshop handles everything from basic maintenance and sight adjustments to more complex work and safety checks. Clear price lists and a structured hourly rate reflect a professional, regulated environment. Even if you are not a hunter, glimpses of the workshop underline how closely the store is tied to the local hunting community, where properly maintained equipment is both a legal requirement and a matter of pride.

Clothing, footwear and gear for all seasons

Beyond firearms and optics, much of the floor space is dedicated to clothing and accessories. Racks carry thermal base layers, fleece mid‑layers, windproof shells and insulated jackets designed to cope with misty mornings, coastal winds and long, still hours in a hide. Footwear ranges from rubber boots for marshy ground to leather boots for rougher terrain, often with options for both men and women. Accessories fill the gaps: rifle slings, backpacks, gloves, hats and small hardware that makes life in the field more comfortable. Anglers find lures, lines and small tackle, while general outdoor enthusiasts can pick up headlamps, knives and navigation aids suitable for forest walks and simple camping trips. The palette is functional rather than flashy, favouring earth tones and durable fabrics over fashion‑driven colours.

A regional meeting place for outdoor enthusiasts

Although it is, at heart, a retail space, Mertz Jagt & Fritid also functions as an informal meeting point. Local hunters drop in to chat about upcoming seasons, ask about regulations or discuss which boots will handle a specific terrain. The staff’s experience with both hunting and fishing gives the store a consultative feel; customers often arrive with a particular challenge and leave with a tailored solution rather than a random purchase. For travellers passing through Lolland-Falster on a nature‑focused itinerary, the shop can be a useful stop to replace worn gear, pick up warmer layers or simply understand what local hunters use in this landscape. It offers a glimpse into the practical side of rural Danish outdoor life, far removed from souvenir‑oriented shopping streets.

Practicalities and who it suits

The store is laid out on a single level, with wide aisles that make browsing reasonably straightforward, even with bulky clothing or gear. It sits within a cluster of other large‑format shops and warehouses, so it feels like a purposeful destination rather than a casual stroll‑by spot. Lighting is bright, and products are clearly grouped by use, making it easy to compare options for clothing, footwear or firearms. Mertz Jagt & Fritid is best suited to travellers who are already engaged with hunting, fishing or serious outdoor activities, or who are travelling with someone who is. For others, it may be a brief curiosity rather than a must‑see. As a commercial venue, it is oriented toward purchasing and servicing equipment rather than providing exhibitions or interpretive material, so your time here will revolve around choosing and understanding gear.
