Det Gamle Trykkeri in Nakskov is a small, working print museum where clattering presses, trays of metal type and the smell of ink bring the craft of letterpress back to life. Housed in an atmospheric former print shop on Jernbanegade, it preserves traditional techniques used to produce local newspapers, pamphlets and the beloved Danish Christmas almond-gift certificate. Demonstrations, original machinery and locally inspired printed pieces offer a hands-on glimpse into the town’s graphic heritage.

Naturlig på Korsgaarden
Naturlig på Korsgaarden is a lakeside glamping retreat on Lolland near Nysted, where mirror-still ponds, small woodland pockets and spacious luxury tents create an indulgent yet low-key nature escape. Guests wake to birdsong, cook over open fire pits, paddle or fish on the lakes, and unwind in hammocks or hot tubs under dark rural skies. It is intimate and tranquil, with thoughtful comforts like quality bedding and breakfast, but still close to working farms and village life.

Sydligste Punkt på Langeland
At Dovns Klint, the southernmost point of Langeland, raw Baltic winds meet steep Ice Age cliffs, rounded shingle beaches and wide sea horizons. This is a place of open skies, migrating birds and restless waves, where glacial “hat hills” drop sharply to the water and pebble banks crunch underfoot. Anglers, hikers, divers and birdwatchers all share this elemental corner of Denmark, drawn by its geology, wildlife and sweeping coastal views.

Marstal Havn og Marina
Marstal Havn og Marina is the beating nautical heart of Ærø’s largest town, a busy blend of commercial harbour, yacht marina and old shipyard basins. Wooden fishing boats, modern cruisers and historic vessels share the quays, while the nearby maritime museum and the former shipyard area quietly tell stories of centuries of seafaring. With playgrounds, swimming spots and grill shelters close to the water, it’s as much a family waterfront promenade as a practical base for sailors exploring the South Fyn Archipelago.
Time to spend 1–4 hrs
Bagenkop Kunsthal
Bagenkop Kunsthal is a small but distinctive contemporary art hall set in a former rescue station on the harbor of Bagenkop, at the southern tip of Langeland. Just steps from the water and traditional fishing huts, it hosts 14–16 changing exhibitions each summer, spanning painting, graphics, sculpture, installation, and mixed media. The intimate space invites quiet reflection, while its setting links the art closely to Langeland’s wild coasts, local community, and strong island art scene.
Time to spend 0.5–2 hrs
Lilleøbroen
Lilleøbroen is a low, narrow causeway and bridge linking the tiny islands of Askø and Lilleø in the Smålandsfarvandet north of Lolland, reached via Lilleøvej from Maribo. Built as a 600 m long embankment in 1914, it cuts a clean line through shallow waters and reed-fringed coastline, offering big skies, sea breezes and open views of fields, dykes and the surrounding archipelago. It is a quiet, wind-exposed spot ideal for a contemplative stroll, a photo stop on a drive, or a pause on a cycling tour between the islands.
Time to spend 0.5–1.5 hrs
Tryggelev Kirke
Tryggelev Kirke is a small, atmospheric medieval parish church in the village of Tryggelev on South Langeland. Dating back to the 12th century, it combines whitewashed walls, a sturdy tower and a rare stone-built church barn from around 1300, once used to store tithes. Inside, you find simple Nordic light, a carved pulpit, epitaphs and modest medieval details that tell the story of centuries of rural faith. It is a peaceful stop for anyone exploring Langeland’s villages, landscapes and history.
Time to spend 0.5–1.5 hrs
Relic of the Castle Revshale
Rising gently from the island of Borgø in Maribo Søndersø, the Relic of the Castle Revshale (Refshaleborg) is a quietly evocative medieval stronghold reduced today to grassy earthworks and low stone remains. Once a royal fortress guarding Lolland in the 12th and 13th centuries, the site now lies within the protected Maribo Lakes Nature Park, surrounded by reeds, open water and rich birdlife. It is a place where Danish power politics, archaeology and tranquil lake scenery meet in one compact, atmospheric stop.

Monument over Faldne Danske Søfolk under 1.Verdenskrig
Set on the waterfront at Prinsebroen in Marstal, the Monument over Faldne Danske Søfolk under 1. Verdenskrig is a small but solemn memorial to Danish merchant seamen who lost their lives during World War I. Framed by masts, boatyards and the low skyline of Ærø’s largest town, this understated monument connects Marstal’s seafaring heritage with the sacrifices made on dangerous wartime voyages. It’s a quiet pause-point on a harbour walk and a tangible link between the town’s maritime past and present.
