Guldborg on Guldborgsund: Harbour, Nature and History

At Guldborg Harbour, Guldborg reveals itself as a maritime destination with water sports, cycling routes and views across Guldborgsund. At the same time, Storskov lies immediately next to the town and stretches along the coast to Vigsnæs. Those who want to combine nature experiences, activities by the water and traces of history on their trip will find several clearly distinct focal points here.

Harbour and activities on the water

At Guldborg Harbour, you can go sailing, motorboating, canoeing and kayaking. The kayak bridge at Guldborg Harbour is intended to encourage more activity at the harbour, improve general access to activities on the water and promote kayak tourism. Guldborg is therefore particularly interesting if maritime experiences play an important role in your travel plans and you would like to consider different forms of water sports.

Coast, forest and flat landscape

Storskov borders Guldborg directly and stretches along the coast to Vigsnæs. In Guldborg Storskov, the hiking and cycling routes offer opportunities to experience the local flora and fauna. Fuglenes fristeder also provides beautiful birdwatching opportunities near Guldborg in the flat landscape. The landscape therefore appeals not only to people who want to be active outdoors, but also to visitors who want to devote their time to more attentive observation of nature.

Cycling through Guldborg

National Cycle Route 7 crosses the Guldborgsund Bridge and is signposted along the entire route. At the harbour in Guldborg, it offers an opportunity to stop and enjoy views across Guldborgsund. Fuglenes fristeder is a circular cycling route starting and ending at Guldborg Harbour; it is signposted in only one direction, anticlockwise. When planning your cycling trip, the two options therefore differ clearly in their described routes: National Cycle Route 7 crosses the bridge, while the circular cycling route is centred on the harbour.

Bridge, ferry house and fortifications

Guldborg Harbour Marina lies directly next to the 75-year-old Guldborg Bridge; a small ferry crossing used to be located here. The Guldborg Bridge opens on request. Guldborg Storskov also contains a fortification from the English Wars. Svenskeskansen is a fortification dating from the Swedish War of 1659. Until 1804, there was only a ferry house at the site where Guldborg now stands.

Choose Guldborg according to your interests

Guldborg can be experienced in different ways: through the harbour and activities on the water, along cycling and hiking routes, by birdwatching in the flat landscape or through the history of the bridge, ferry crossing and fortifications. If you are looking for a hotel or other accommodation for your stay in Guldborg, you can first decide which of these areas should shape your trip. This keeps your choice of location closely aligned with the experiences that interest you most on Guldborgsund.
