Current timetables are available on the ferry's own website.
📍 Bogø Havn, 4793 Bogø By
Flysimulatoren - Nordstrandsgård
At Nordstrandsgård near Lundby, halfway between Næstved and Vordingborg in South Zealand, Jeanette and Michael run a farm with an unusual attraction: a full-scale King Air B350 flight simulator. The simulator previously served as a professional training device at Roskilde Airport, where pilots from airlines including SAS and Norwegian trained on it. In spring 2025, Michael took over the simulator and moved it to the farm, where, after extensive rebuilding, it now allows visitors to try their hand at real flying. In the cockpit, you sit in front of a curved screen measuring around 8 x 2-3 metres, giving an experience close to reality. You can choose your own destination, as the simulator covers airports all over the world. Michael, who holds a pilot’s licence himself, guides you throughout — from a gentle introduction to more advanced exercises such as instrument landings. Several people can take turns in the cockpit, and outside there is a small lounge fitted with real aircraft seats, where others can follow the flight as “passengers.” Visits are by appointment only and must be booked by phone. One hour in the cockpit costs 1,000 DKK, two hours 1,750 DKK, and gift vouchers are also available. As this is a private farm with no fixed opening hours, it is recommended to contact Michael well in advance to arrange a time.

Museumsbanen Maribo-Bandholm
Museumsbanen Maribo-Bandholm is Denmark's oldest heritage railway and a living piece of railway history. The line between the cathedral town of Maribo and the harbour town of Bandholm opened in 1869 as Lolland's first railway — built to connect the interior of Lolland with Bandholm Harbour — and was thus also one of the country's first private railways. Passenger traffic ceased in 1952, but in 1962 the Danish Railway Club was given permission to run museum trains on the line, giving rise to Denmark's first heritage railway. Today the line runs between 50 and 60 operating days a year over the summer, when heritage trains — hauled among others by Denmark's oldest operational steam locomotive from 1879 — carry passengers on the roughly eight-kilometre journey through the Lolland landscape to Bandholm Harbour and back. The carriages represent private-railway rolling stock from the period 1869-1930, and the railway has around 30 locomotives and carriages. A distinctive feature is the well-preserved station environment in Bandholm, whose main building was listed in 1972. The railway also holds special events such as coffee trains and dining-car trains, and a train ride is a nostalgic experience for both children and railway enthusiasts.
📍 Banegårdspladsen 5, 4930 Maribo

Postbåden på Nakskov Fjord
The postal boat Vesta has been sailing routes on Nakskov Fjord since the 1930s, connecting Nakskov Harbour with a handful of islands in the fjord, including Enehøje and Albuen. It began as a practical postal boat that brought mail, goods and passengers to the otherwise hard-to-reach island communities — and today the trip is primarily a nature experience, where the rich birdlife, the tranquil fjord landscape and the stories of the islands' life and history take centre stage. The voyage provides unique access to islands and coastlines impossible to reach on foot, and is one of the most atmospheric ways to experience the west coast of Lolland. Departure times and seasonal overview are available on the postal boat's website.

Thorsvang — Danmarks Samlermuseum
Thorsvang is one of Denmark's most distinctive cultural-history museums — a collector's museum on Møn that has grown over time out of Henrik Hjortkær's life's work as a collector. Instead of traditional display cases and catalogue numbers, the objects are presented in 18 recreated shops and workshops reflecting everyday life in the 1920s: a grocer's, a bank, a locksmith's, a tobacconist's, a tailor's, an ice-cream maker and a bakery, to name just a few. It feels like stepping into a street scene from your grandfather's day, and the museum's strength lies precisely in the fact that the objects have not been taken out of their context. The museum also has a cosy café with a lunch buffet and home-baked cakes. Thorsvang is located in the village of Sømarke east of Stege.
📍 Thorsvangs Allé 7, 4780 Stege
