Nakskov Fjord is an exceptional natural area, with many exciting islands for you to explore.
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.
The Horsehead
Hestehoved bathing beach has the country's warmest bathing water temperatures and is very child-friendly, with lovely South Sea sand and shallow water. It is located in connection with a campsite, ice house, holiday homes, restaurant, marina and outdoor activities, such as volleyball and mini golf.

At the top you will find whale jaws that Peter Freuchen brought to the island, as well as a sculpture of him lying down and sleeping for dinner.
Slotø
