Ravnsby Bakker is a striking rolling landscape on Lolland's northwestern coast, offering a dramatic contrast to the island's characteristically flat terrain.

Undervejs op langs den 217 meter lange rampe fortæller informative plancher om Danmarks største infrastrukturprojekt og områdets natur og historie, mens vinden fra Østersøen og lyden af maskiner sætter en sanselig ramme om besøget. Adgangen er gratis og åben hele året.

A monumental open-air sculpture park on Lolland's coast featuring twelve colossal granite figures carved with human faces, each 7–9 metres tall and weighing 25–45 tonnes.

Standing amid these enigmatic megaliths while listening to the ambient music creates a deeply contemplative experience, blending contemporary art with ancient standing-stone traditions. The site overlooks the Småland waters and Bronze Age burial mounds, offering sweeping views across fields toward the sea.

Glentehøj is a remarkably well-preserved passage grave dating to approximately 3200 BC, nestled in the rural countryside near Torrig on Lolland-Falster.

With the Fuglsang Art Museum and cultural center on the estate, plus nearby coastal nature at Skejten, it’s an inspired base for slow days of culture, walks and quietly romantic evenings.

The haunting ruins of Nykøbing Castle stand as a testament to medieval Danish power and royal history. Originally built in the 12th century to defend against the Wends, this fortress once rivaled Kronborg Castle in scale and grandeur. Today, only the iconic tower known as Fars Hat (Father's Hat) remains visible, along with cobblestone markings and archaeological remnants scattered across Slotsgade. The castle's demolition in 1763 marked the end of an era, but its legacy permeates the charming town that grew around it.

A striking octagonal Dutch windmill built in 1816, Ejegod Windmill stands as one of Denmark's most complete examples of traditional milling heritage. Located in northern Nykøbing Falster on the island of Falster, this protected landmark retains its original barn and miller's house—a rare ensemble in Danish architecture. Though the mill ceased operations in the mid-1950s, extensive restoration work between 2002 and 2010 has preserved its distinctive brick and shingle exterior. A toy museum now occupies the miller's house, offering visitors a glimpse into both industrial history and childhood nostalgia.
