Pops’ Denmark Travel Guide – Part 2, Falster




Falster is another one of the islands of Denmark connected by a series of bridges from Copenhagen. There are two bridges connecting to Lolland: the Guldborgsund Bridge at the northern end of the strait and the Frederick IX Bridge at Nykøbing Falster. There is also a tunnel between the islands on E47 that you can take from Copenhagen to Germany using the ferry at Rodby on Lolland.

 
 
 

With its marinas, sandy beaches and cycle tracks, Falster attracts tourists who wish to have relaxing holidays in unspoiled surroundings. One of the most popular resorts is Marielyst on the east coast. Marielyst is a typical beach city with a beautiful beach that seems to go for ever. The beach is one of the best I went to in Denmark. In town are a lot of restaurants and bars that offer live entertainment. You can also find camp grounds in and around the city. Also, close to Marielyst is an international sand castle contest on the beach. Nykøbing offers a number of attractions including its old-town atmosphere with narrow streets. Of particular interest are the Middle Ages Center, and the 15th century Abbey Church (Klosterkirke). Gedser is another port city and like Rodby has a ferry that will take you to Germany. Across the Guldborgsund Bridge from Lolland in Falster are ruins from the Middle Ages. On the other side of Falster is the Faro Bridge which is E47 that will take you to Copenhagen.
