Local tips
- Plan your visit for late spring or early summer, when the lupins are most likely to be in full flower and the fields show their strongest colors.
- Wear sturdy shoes; you may be walking on uneven, sometimes muddy ground along field edges rather than paved paths.
- Bring a camera or smartphone with plenty of battery, as the wide views and close-up flower details offer excellent photo opportunities.
- Respect the fields as working agricultural land: avoid stepping into crop rows and take all litter with you.
- Check a local weather forecast before visiting; soft overcast light is ideal for flower photography, while clear evenings suit wide landscape shots.
Getting There
-
Car from Nakskov
From Nakskov, reaching Askøvej 21 by car typically takes about 20–30 minutes, using regional roads that pass through open farmland. Traffic is usually light, but speeds vary as you pass through villages. There is no formal car park, so you will need to pull fully off the narrow roadside where it is safe and avoid blocking field access. Fuel costs for the return journey are modest; if you are using a rental car, expect overall transport costs in the range of 50–150 DKK once fuel and rental fees are considered.
-
Car from Maribo
From Maribo, the drive to the lupin fields near Søllested generally takes around 25–35 minutes along standard two-lane roads. The route runs through a mixture of woodland and farmland, with occasional slowdowns near small towns. As there is no dedicated parking area at the fields, stop only in places where you can pull completely off the road and remain visible to other drivers. Budget 50–150 DKK for fuel and vehicle costs depending on your rental arrangement and distance driven that day.
-
Public transport and short walk
Regional buses connect larger Lolland towns such as Nakskov and Maribo with villages near Søllested, with typical journey times of 30–50 minutes depending on the route and timetable. Single bus tickets within the region usually cost roughly 25–50 DKK per adult. From the nearest village stop, reaching the fields involves a short walk along local roads, which may lack continuous pavements and can be uneven in places. Services may be less frequent in the evening and on weekends, so checking a current timetable before travel is important.

Blooming fields in the Lolland countryside
Lupinmark at Askøvej 21 sits in classic Lolland farm country: low, open land, clipped hedgerows and an enormous sky that seems to begin at your feet. For most of the year it is a quiet agricultural landscape, but when the lupins flower, the fields transform into an almost painterly sweep of color. Bands of violet, blue, pink and white seem to run right up to the tree line, framed by windbreaks and distant farm buildings. This is not a manicured garden, but a working rural setting where lupins have been sown as a spectacular flowering crop. The effect is striking in its simplicity – a single species on a grand scale, shifting subtly as light and weather change through the day.Seasonal rhythm and fleeting color
The magic of Lupinmark is tied to the seasons. Late spring and early summer are usually the best times to see the flowers at their fullest, when tall spires are heavy with blooms and bees thread their way along each stem. Come a little earlier and you may find buds just beginning to open, giving the field a softer, pastel look; come later and the colors start to fade into summer greens as the seed heads form. Because this is an outdoor, cultivated area rather than a formal attraction, there are no guaranteed dates or fixed displays. That sense of uncertainty is part of the appeal: each visit is a snapshot of one moment in the growing year, never exactly the same twice.Experiencing the fields up close
A visit here is typically short and unhurried. Many people simply pause at the roadside to admire the view and take photographs, while others wander carefully along the field edges to enjoy the scent and the close-up detail of the flowers. The open setting makes it easy to frame wide, cinematic shots of the lupins against the sky or pick out single stalks backlit by the sun. There is little in the way of infrastructure, so the ambience is quiet and low-key. You hear the wind in the stems, distant farm machinery, and the soft hum of insects. On still evenings, the colors deepen as the light turns golden, and the field takes on a more intimate, almost dreamlike character.Light, weather and atmosphere
The broad horizon of Lolland means that light and weather play a starring role in any visit. Under clear skies, the lupins appear almost saturated, their colors intensifying against bright green foliage and pale clouds. On overcast days, the field becomes moodier and more subdued, with soft, even light that suits close-up photography and quiet contemplation. Wind can set the entire field in motion, rippling across the lupins in waves. After rain, droplets cling to each flower and leaf, turning the field into a glittering surface once the sun breaks through. Every change in the weather brings a different atmosphere, making the site rewarding even on less-than-perfect days.Respecting a working rural landscape
Although Lupinmark is a photogenic destination, it remains part of an active agricultural area. Visitors are expected to treat the fields with care: staying to the edges where possible, avoiding trampling rows, and taking any rubbish back with them. This light footprint helps ensure that the lupins can continue to be cultivated and appreciated year after year. With no commercial facilities or entertainment, the experience is intentionally simple. It is an easy stop to combine with other outings on Lolland, offering a brief immersion in color and countryside before you move on to nearby villages, manor houses or coastal viewpoints.A quiet pause between villages
Lupinmark works best as a contemplative pause rather than a full-day excursion. It is well suited to travelers who enjoy slow journeys through the countryside, photographers in search of vivid natural scenes, and anyone who appreciates how a single crop can transform a familiar landscape. Stand at the field edge for a few minutes and you quickly sense the rhythm of rural life unfolding around you, with the lupins as a vibrant, temporary centerpiece.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
