On a trip with the Post Boat

The post boat sails public tours around Nakskov Fjord during the summer. You can also book your own private tours with the boat.

The old natural sailing channel around Slotø in Nakskov Fjord made it difficult for non-experts to navigate the waters. This was used as a defense of the city from the sea throughout history. Today, a straight shipping channel has been dug into the city, which is often used by large cargo ships, including to ship out wind turbine blades.

Slotø

On Slotø you will find the ruins of Engelsborg, which was built by King Hans in 1510. It was built as a castle and shipyard, as there was a natural water depth of 8 meters right off the island. At the same time, the castle protected the entrance to Nakskov.
