Lolland, Falster, Mn & Bornholm
Lolland is generally flat, Falster less so, while Mn is a haven of small hills and valleys, with the Mn Klint chalk cliffs a breathtaking sight. Bornholm is set apart from the rest, 150km (90 miles) east of the Danish mainland, and is made up of fertile farmland, white beaches and rocky coastlines. Other towns worth visiting include Nakskov, Nykobing, Nysted, Rnne, Sakskbing and Stege.
Knuthenborg Park on Lolland is Denmark’s largest, with 500 species of trees, flowers and plants; it also contains a safari park. Corselitse and the Pederstrup Museum are also worth a visit. Bornholm contains Hammershus, Denmark’s largest castle ruin (built in 1260), as well as many fine churches. The small town of Svaneke was awarded the European Gold Medal in Architectural Heritage Year (1975).
