The island of Falster, on which Gedser is located, is characterised by long, light sandy beaches, typical of the Danish coastline. The closest is Gedesby beach, ideal for sunbathing and swimming; the beach is also very picturesque in winter, when the snow covers the entire seafront with white.❄
On Falster Island is Denmark's southernmost point, Gedser Odde, marked by the Sydstenen stone. The entire surrounding area is perfect for those who enjoy long walks, thanks to the many flat paths in an idyllic landscape. Don't forget a visit to Fiskebæk, an area populated since the Neolithic period, where several megalithic remains can be found.
Don't just stop in Gedser, visit the rest of Zealand as well! A natural wonder not to be missed is Møns Klint: sheer white cliffs are reflected in a sea so transparent that it has earned the name 'Caribbean Sea of the North'. It is the ideal place for long walks, even under the stars, as it is a place without light pollution and the visibility of the stars is perfect.✨
Roskilde is one of the oldest cities in Denmark. For over a thousand years, Danish rulers have been buried in its cathedral. It is worth a visit for the fascinating medieval old town and the Viking museum where you can see the remains of ships and other ancient artefacts.
