Soesmarke

Soesmarke is an interesting starting point for anyone who wants to combine a trip with cycling experiences, woodland landscapes, and birdwatching. The “Fuglenes fristeder” cycling route has a signposted entrance on Spurvestræde in Soesmarke. This means the exploration begins at a specific location in the village: the route passes through Storskoven and follows quiet country roads, several of which have cycle paths.

Cycling through forests and bird protection areas

On “Fuglenes fristeder”, the landscapes and their birdlife are the main focus. Kallø Grå is one of the two bird protection areas highlighted by the route. Bicycles may be brought into the Kallø Grå reserve, but must be pushed there. This rule is important when planning your day if you want to combine part of the route with time in the protected area. The reserve also has a birdwatching tower.

The route leads around the Guldborgsund Tunnel and offers views across the Guldborgsund. This makes it possible to combine the cycling trip with a variety of impressions: forests and quiet roads are just as much a part of it as views of the water. Anyone who places particular emphasis on nature experiences and bicycle-friendly day planning when choosing a holiday apartment can consider Soesmarke as a suitable search area for this focus, without having to base the entire holiday on a single activity.

More destinations for nature watchers

Near Soesmarke lies Vestermark Møllesø, a beach meadow with a small lake and a good area for waders and geese. This complements route-based birdwatching with another landscape featuring open water and meadows. A second option is the 35 km cycling route “A Haven for Birds”. It is signposted with symbols in the form of birdwatching towers. This route begins and ends in nearby Guldborg.

The Majbølle Nor nature reserve also has a birdwatching tower. If you plan the 35 km “A Haven for Birds” route, however, Guldborg is one of the explicitly named starting and ending points.

Cultural history in Soesmarke

In addition to nature-related themes, Soesmarke also offers a point of connection to cultural history. There was a school in Soesmarke built in 1916. Guldborgland Centralskole was located in Soesmarke near Guldborg and was put into operation after its renovation on 17 April 1958. Today, the buildings are used as a cultural and leisure centre. This aspect adds a piece of local history to the stay and shows that Soesmarke is interesting for more than just its cycling routes.

For a trip involving a range of interests, you can alternate between nature and cultural themes: a section of a cycling route, observations at a lake or in the bird protection area, followed by a look at the former school, now a cultural and leisure centre. The “Rasteplads Soesmarke” rest area has a toilet, which also provides a specific point of reference for an excursion.
