The Naturepark

Nakskov Fjord Nature Park - part of the Danish Nature Parks

Experience the amazing Nakskov Fjord Nature Park, which is called Denmark's islandest fjord. Here is a beautiful landscape, an exciting nature and a fantastic cultural environment. You can experience the fjord with the Post Boat from the water side, cycle on the dike cycle path with unique views or hike on the narrow Albuetange.

On the flat West Lolland lies a 12 km deep fjord with as many as 10 large and small islands and a 7.5 km long cape called Albuen at the end. The fjord is mostly surrounded by 4 metre high storm surge dykes and cultivated farmland. 

Nakskov Fjord Nature Park is called Denmark's islandest fjord and covers an area of about 55 km². Out on the fjord there are year-round opportunities for exciting nature experiences. Turboats often sail, so there are good opportunities to experience the area from the water. 

A trip on or around the fjord is a great experience. You can experience one beautiful view after another. The fjord also has a unique cultural environment and several national sights.

The old race

Nakskov Fjord Nature Park is shallow in many places, with depths of less than 2 metres. Here and there, however, the fjord floor is crossed by natural and man-made channels. The oldest channel, called The Old Channel, is formed by a meltwater river from when the ice began to melt during the last ice age. A boat trip on the fjord almost always follows this channel, passing close by the fjord's large islands. 

The characteristic bird of the fjord is the mute swan. They can be seen in their thousands all year round, and we often sail between large flocks of swans. That's why the mute swan is in our logo.

The main sights

There is public access to the largest island in the fjord, Enehøje and Albuen, as well as to the area around Engelsborg on Slotø and by appointment on Vejlø. 

Nakskov Fjord is not just the places where there is water. Large-scale damming works after the 1872 storm have halved the fjord, but traces of the old fjord still exist, and it doesn't take much imagination to imagine bays and coves where people used to fish and hunt.
