Walking from the train station to the museum is worth the journey itself! A very unpretentious building but certainly attractive. Built like a ship and features amazing artwork by Damien Hirst, Ai WeiWei amongst many others and the special exhibition by Patricia Piccinnini is a must. The museum itself is a delight with views across the sea. Do not miss the amazing store on the way out.

An absolutely fantastic beautiful nature, good hiking conditions, as well as the opportunity to get down to the water's edge of the cliffs. Remember a little warmer clothes if you come outside the tourist season.

We went here on a guided tour and had a super interesting and very educational visit to the frontlinie defense of NATO, located at Stevns in Denmark. The tour of the underground fortress was the highlight, and the guide introduced us to the facts and a handful of good stories. Definitively worth recommending!

There's an excellent 5 kilometre walk around the glacial moraines of the Røsnæs peninsular from the nature centre to the lighthouse. It takes a couple of hours, along the stony beaches, past woodlands, across some fields and around small lakes. At the lighthouse there's a little café, but it was closed due to the Covid-19 outbreak. From the viewpoints you can see Samsø, northern Funen and Sejerø. The sky meets the sea with ships sliding past on their way through the Great Belt. An idyllic spot!

Time travel to the 19th century The Open-Air Museum is situated in the middle of the scenic Maribo Lakes Nature Park. A little gem that provides experiences for both body and soul. Go back in time and feel the ambience. Visit the old half-timbered houses and discover what rural life was like in the old days. Walk through the small rooms with their low ceilings and peek behind the curtains of the beds. Take off your shoes, while inside the farmhouse and feel for yourself the different floors. Write on the blackboard in the school and enjoy the idyllic flora. Get up close and personal with the farmer, the laborer, the priest, the school teacher and the smith in the old houses, showing 300 years of building culture. There are ample opportunities to act out one’s inner child with several different old village games and activities.

A very traditional Danish church with some absolutely amazing fresco's. The (new) organ is, on the other hand, ridiculous ugly and has no contextual link.
