Sakskøbing

Sakskøbing is a small town on Lolland. Sakskøbing is a town of approximately 5,000 inhabitants. Being a town with no big industries or services it offers a glimpse of very authentic Danish rural life.

Get in

  • 🌍 Sakskøbing Station. Train from Nykøbing Falster (terminating in Nakskov) every half-hour in daytime, and every hour from around 05:00-23:30.
  • Bus 800 goes directly from Odense.

See

Not many attractions per se, but a few places might interesting for foreigners.

  • 🌍 The church (Sakskøbing Kirke) (adjacent to the town square). Standard Danish medieval style, but still nice.
  • Oreby Harbour (Oreby Havn) (a few kilometers north of town). Nice and quiet little harbour with nice views over the fjord, forests and a baroque mansion.
  • 🌍 Krenkerup Gods (5 km). Probably the nicest place in the area. Nice old mansion, with a lovely (planted) forest. Ruins of a summer-pavilion can be found here.
  • The Watertower (Vandtårnet). Has a face painted on (hence the town's slogan 'the city that smiles'). At night the face lights up in a rather demonic way.

Eat

  • 🌍 Hulyas Pizzaria, Torvet 5, +45 54 70 78 68. M-Sa 11:00 - 21:30, Su 12:00 - 21:30. This is by far the most popular place for the locals to eat out. Decent pizzas and other menu items ranging from kebabs to t-bone steaks.

Drink

There are trains to the local capital, Nykøbing Falster, so frequently this would be the place to go for drinks and nightlife.

  • 🌍 Goose Pub, Søndergade 13, +45 54 70 42 95. The local watering hole. Abandon all hope ye who enter here. Dark and smoky this caters to the very local-patriotic crowd, and it cannot be recommended to go here (especially on weekends) without a local contact that can vouch for you. Fights are very common, so keep a low profile if you go here.
