Stage 5

Nykøbing Falster sits high above the Guldborg Sound. It has a classic market town architecture coupled beautifully with modern city life. When starting in Nykøbing Falster, there are a myriad of reasons why you should set aside the bike for a while before moving on to Stage 5 of the route. Stay awhile, see what’s on offer, such as the Middle Ages Centre, a living, breathing museum or take in some of the most beautiful countryside of the region.

Pack your swimsuit and towels, have them readily available and make your way from Nykøbing Falster to Marielyst Beach - enjoy your dip! Ride further north and take in the beautiful countryside along the east coast, on Falster. Your ride takes you through the forests by Corselitze Manor and close to the Baltic coast.

If you need a break from your pedal bike, visit northern Europe’s largest Veteran Motorcycle Museum in Stubbekøbing. If you need refreshments, the old market town has plenty to offer.

The only harbour on Falster is a sight to behold. The fishing village of Hesnæs is nestled in an incredibly beautiful spot, right out to the Baltic sea. The houses are small, thatched cottages not found anywhere else in Denmark. Should you be lucky enough to buy fish from a local fisherman, you can prepare it on the harbour’s 35-metre long table. There is space for everyone to eat and grill food. Stave off your hunger by visiting Pomle Nakke Eatery at the edge of the forest with views over the sea. Hesnæs also has some lovely beaches so be sure to park your bike for a little while and take a stroll through the Corselitze Forest.
