Lolland, Falster and Møn - the Danish islands in the south

These three islands make up an interesting corner of Denmark with the exceptional and scenic nature as well as the beach life on the beautiful, white and sandy beaches. The bathing water is especially suitable for children because of the low content of salt and the level salt meadows.
On Falster you'll find the wonderful 20-km-long beach of Marielyst and the impressive forest Corselitze skovene with plenty of historic passage graves and cairns. Bøtø Nor is a preserved bird sanctuary and an important breeding place for migratory birds.
The high chalk cliff 'Møns Klint' on Møn is one of the most famous and frequented natural areas in Denmark. Møn has an abundance of cultural monuments, e.g. the best-preserved ramparts of Scandinavia.
Lolland offers an extremely comprehensive coastal landscape with salt meadows, shallow water, fresh reed swamps and a network of paths. The winding roads lead through small, idyllic villages and pass lovely beechwoods, beautiful castles and manor houses.
