Langebæk Municipality between Forest, Coast and Cultural History

The landscape of Langebæk Municipality is characterised by a rolling, densely forested moraine landscape that slopes down towards the Ulvsund. Here, the contours of the terrain combine with views of the water to create a destination where nature and maritime history are given equal space. Those wishing to experience the Baltic coast mindfully will find various starting points in Langebæk for planning their own day trips.

Landscape and Maritime History

The Møllebæk stream flows through Langebæk; its water power was used in the past. A particularly notable historical trace is Petersværft: today, the site is designated as a cultural landscape environment of special conservation value, and in 1777 it was established as a shipyard by the estate owner Peter Johansen of Petersgård. In this way, waterways, craftsmanship and the history of local use form a comprehensible connection.

Petersgaard and Its Gardens

Petersgaard also provides access to the cultural history of the area. The main building was constructed between 1774 and 1776 in the Neoclassical style. The manor garden at Petersgaard is now a typical example of a modernised and contemporary form of a manor garden. It includes a park with a memorial stone and a tea pavilion.

The manor garden also includes a parterre perennial garden as well as a large vegetable and cut-flower garden. The various garden areas make Petersgaard particularly interesting for visitors who wish to explore historic sites not only through their architecture, but also through their design and use.

Forest Paths, Kløft and Panoramic Views

In the wider area around Langebæk, Vinterbølle Skov offers opportunities for visits to the forest and coast. A path there also leads to a 10-metre-high cliff with a view. In Mallings Kløft, a path follows the stream along its entire length. This makes it possible to experience very different natural settings: forest and coast, a stream running through the ravine, and an elevated view across the landscape.

At the end of Mallings Kløft, the path reaches open countryside with views over the Storstrømmen and the Farø Bridges. Another notable site lies in Langebæk Skov east of Petersværft: there is a Langdysse there, approximately 35 metres long and 8 metres wide, dating from the beginning of the Neolithic period. The marked Sjællandsleden hiking trail passes directly by the Langdysse.

Orientation on Site

The Langdysse in Langebæk Skov can be reached from the car park at the small harbour by Petersværft via Pedersværftsvej, the gravel road north of the old forester's house and the forest path by Officershuset. It is also important for your planning to note that there are no car parks in the immediate vicinity of the Solvang campsite. These specific directions and parking details help you combine cultural attractions and nature experiences in Langebæk in a targeted way.

You can also include Kostræde Banker, Lundby, Klintholm Havn, Stensved, Vesterskov, Askeby, Bogø By and Borre in your further travel planning.
