Møn, Falster & Lolland
Why Go?
Denmark's 'South Sea Islands' may lack the coconut palms and hula skirts usually associ-
ated with that phrase, but they
do
offer a fine glimpse of rural Scandinavian island life:
rolling fields, sandy beaches and Neolithic tombs.
Møn deserves the most attention: it's perfectly sized, artistically spirited and home to
something very unusual for Denmark - cliffs! Four churches exhibit wondrous medieval
frescoes, from recognised masterpieces to primitive daubs. Add evocative beaches, en-
chanted forests and cosy guesthouses, and you've got the perfect island escape.
While less inspiring than Møn, Falster is famous for its beaches, which lure Danish sun
worshippers each (short) summer. Further west, Lolland's sprawl of farms and woods is
punctuated with Maribo's small-town charm, as well as blockbuster attractions Lalandia
waterpark and Knuthenborg Safari Park.
All three islands are easily accessed by road bridges from southern Zealand.
