Guldborg between Harbour, Forest and History

Guldborg combines maritime experiences, a forest-rich landscape and traces of a turbulent history. At Guldborg Havn, you can sail, go boating, canoe or kayak. At the same time, Guldborg Storskov borders the town directly and stretches along the coast to Vigsnæs. This gives Guldborg a range of ideas for planning your days: water activities, nature observation, cycle tours and historical discoveries can be combined to create a varied stay.

Water experiences at Guldborg Havn

Guldborg Havn is the maritime centre of the town. Sailing, motorboating, canoeing and kayaking are among the activities available there. If you enjoy spending your holiday by the water, you can make the harbour a focus of your travel planning. The kayak bridge at Guldborg Havn is intended to encourage more activity at the harbour, improve general access to activities on the water and promote kayak tourism. It thus highlights the harbour’s role as a place for various forms of water sports, without this implying a fixed programme of events.

Storskov: Forest, Coast and Historical Traces

Guldborg Storskov reveals another side of the destination. The walking and cycling routes in the forest offer opportunities to experience the flora and fauna. For days spent in nature, you can include these paths in your plans and experience the flora and fauna along the way. The combination of nature and history is particularly notable: Guldborg Storskov contains a fortification from the English Wars. Another historical site is Svenskeskansen, a fortification from the Swedish War of 1659. Anyone interested in the history of the region will find specific points of interest here beyond purely scenic experiences.

Cycling through the Surrounding Area

National Cycle Route 7 crosses the Guldborgsundbroen and is signposted along its entire route. At the harbour in Guldborg, the route offers an opportunity to take a break with a view across the Guldborgsund. There is also a dedicated cycling loop called Fuglenes fristeder. It starts and ends at Guldborg Havn and is signposted in only one direction, counterclockwise. Take this feature into account when planning your ride. In the flat landscape around Guldborg, Fuglenes fristeder also offers excellent birdwatching opportunities. This allows you to choose between a nationally signposted route and a circular cycle route with a fixed direction of travel.

Guldborg’s History by the Water

The development of the town can also be traced at the harbour. Guldborg Havn marina is located directly beside the 75-year-old Guldborgbro. A small ferry crossing used to be located here. Until 1804, there was only a ferry house where Guldborg now stands. Guldborgbro opens on request. This is worth including in your plans if your route crosses the bridge.

The Right Accommodation for Your Travel Plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Guldborg, you can use your preferred holiday focus as a guide. If water activities are your priority, Guldborg Havn is an obvious point of reference for planning. For an interest in nature and history, Guldborg Storskov, the fortifications and the walking and cycling routes in the forest become the main focus. Those travelling by bicycle can also consider National Cycle Route 7 or Fuglenes fristeder. This means your choice of accommodation can reflect the mix of experiences you are looking for in Guldborg: harbour, forest, birdwatching, cycling or historical discoveries.
