Getting There
-
Walking
From Maribo’s central square, the main lake and visitor center are an easy stroll through the historic district, with the cathedral as a guiding landmark. The lakes are visible as you leave the old town, and well-marked paths lead to the water’s edge. Allow around 10–15 minutes on foot. Entry is free; some guided experiences or canoe rentals may require a fee.
-
Public Transport
Local buses run from Nykøbing Falster and Nakskov to Maribo’s main bus terminal, just a few minutes' walk from the park’s entrance area. Single bus tickets to Maribo from other Lolland towns typically cost 24–40 DKK. The park’s trails start just beyond the bus terminal, past town landmarks.
-
Car
Drivers can use the central parking areas around Maribo’s cathedral and museum. Parking is usually available at municipal lots for about 10–16 DKK per hour. From there, the lakes and main park entrance are just a short walk through the historic town center.
-
Bicycle
The surrounding countryside offers pleasant cycling routes to Maribo from neighboring towns and villages, passing through farmland and lakeshores. Bike racks are available near the park entrance, and cycling is permitted on most local roads; no bike rental stations are directly at the park, so bring your own or rent in larger towns.
