Dannemare suits groups of four to eight who want a quiet Lolland base, a village of a few hundred people on a flat island. The ferry to Germany at Rødbyhavn and Lalandia make day trips, but the village itself is small and its main landmark is an old church.
Dannemare is a village of a few hundred people on the island of Lolland, about 11 km south of Nakskov and 19 km west of Rødby. Lolland is known as the pancake island, because its highest point is only 25 m above sea level, and it is flat farmland with sugar beet fields. The first church, one of Lolland's oldest built of brick, went up around 1200; after a fire it was replaced by the present building in 1897. Our homes are spread over a few kilometres, mostly sleeping four to eight, and most have a fireplace while few have a sauna or a private pool. The island has many sandy beaches and holiday-home areas, mainly used by German visitors. For an evening meal you drive; Nakskov is the island's largest town.
The largest town on Lolland, about 11 km north of Dannemare.
Home to a ferry to Fehmarn and the original Lalandia holiday resort just to its west, on the Fehmarn Belt shore.
North of Maribo and described as the largest safari park in Northern Europe, a day out from Lolland.
A town of about 6,000 residents and the seat of the Diocese of Lolland-Falster.
Copenhagen Airport, on Amager 8 km south of Copenhagen, has flights from all three main London airports. Lolland needs a car from there. From Germany the Scandlines ferry from Puttgarden to Rødby takes about 45 minutes and runs every 30 minutes, which suits those driving from the UK.
Lolland's sandy beaches and holiday-home areas are visited mainly by German tourists, so summer is the beach season. With a fireplace in most homes and flat ground for walking, a cooler-season stay is practical too. Check ferry times and opening hours before an off-season visit, and note the Fehmarn Belt tunnel is under construction.
Not necessarily. Lolland has many sandy beaches and holiday-home areas, but Dannemare is a village 11 km south of Nakskov, so check each listing's map for the distance to the shore.
Rødby is about 19 km from Dannemare, and the ferry runs from Rødbyhavn, a further 5 km southwest of Rødby. Scandlines sails to Puttgarden about every 30 minutes, taking around 45 minutes.
Not much beyond the church. The original dated from about 1200, and the current building from 1897 has a Baroque altarpiece from about 1640 and a font from about 1650.
Lalandia at Rødbyhavn and Knuthenborg Safari Park near Maribo are the obvious days out. Homes here mostly sleep four to eight, and most have a fireplace, but few have a private pool.
Not directly. The immersed tunnel linking Lolland with the German island of Fehmarn is still under construction, and the Puttgarden to Rødby ferry runs about every 30 minutes. Once open, the tunnel would cut the crossing to about 10 minutes by car.
