Horslunde between culture, islands and nature

When considering Horslunde for your trip, you can weigh a clear cultural and historical connection against various natural destinations in the surrounding area. Reventlow Asylum is located in Horslunde; there is also a beach, islands, ruins, churches and a visitor garden. This combination makes choosing the location primarily a question of your preferred focus: Would you like to include history, select natural destinations or combine both?

Cultural history around Horslunde

Reventlow Asylum in Horslunde was built in 1824 by Christian Frederik Ditlev Count Reventlow (1748–1827). Ravnsborg is a ruin in the area around Horslunde, while Engelborg is a ruin in the wider regional surroundings of Horslunde. Herredskirke is a church in the immediate vicinity, while Branderslev Church is a church in the area around Horslunde. The selection therefore ranges from a historic building in Horslunde and ruins to churches in the immediate and wider surroundings. Ruins and churches offer different points of focus from Reventlow Asylum itself, so cultural and historical interests can be given different levels of priority. This allows you to focus your plans on individual historic sites without combining all the destinations into a single walking tour.

Beach, islands and garden

Hestehovedet, a beach in the wider regional surroundings of Horslunde, represents the natural and coastal aspect. Rågø and Rågø Kalv are islands in the area around Horslunde. The beach and islands thus provide two different natural points of interest. Paradishaven complements this selection as a 13,500-square-metre visitor garden with thousands of flowers, shrubs and trees. The garden offers a different focus from the coast and islands, as flowers, shrubs and trees are combined here within a defined area. Those who want to compare natural destinations can therefore distinguish between a beach, islands and a visitor garden.

Family and outdoor aspects

Horslunde Bypark has a playground that was established in collaboration with the Horslunde residents’ association. This is a specific point of reference for families who would also like to take a playground into account when choosing their location. The town park complements the cultural and historical and landscape destinations with another way to spend time in the town. The shelter site in Horslunde offers another form of accommodation: it has a shelter for five overnight guests as well as tent pitches for a maximum of ten people. The shelter and tent pitches differ in the type of overnight stay and in their respective capacities. When planning the group size, both options can be considered separately.

Bus connection to Nakskov and Kragenæs

Buses to Nakskov and Kragenæs depart directly from the Saften/Horslunde bus terminal. The two destinations complement the local cultural and natural attractions by offering an opportunity to include other places in your travel plans. If you would like to visit Nakskov or Kragenæs, you can take this direct connection into account when selecting your day trips.
