💡 Tips
- A visit to the nearby Faxe Limestone Quarry is a must; rent a hammer and chisel at the Geomuseum to hunt for 63-million-year-old fossils.
- The local train (Østbanen) connects the town directly to Køge, making it a very convenient base for exploring the region.
- Bring a windproof jacket; the Baltic Sea breeze can be quite brisk, even on sunny summer days.
- The town's marina is facing east, but the twilight colors reflecting on the Baltic Sea make it a beautiful spot in the evening.
