Villas in Rødby

About Rødby

Rødby is a small town of around two thousand people on Lolland, first recorded in 1231 as a trading post and ferry point for travellers heading to Holstein and central Europe. The ferry port of Rødbyhavn lies about 5 km to the south-west, where the E47 ends, and the crossing to Puttgarden in Germany takes about 45 minutes. The original Lalandia holiday resort sits just west of Rødbyhavn on the shore of the Fehmarn Belt. Our homes are spread over around twelve kilometres, mostly sleeping six, many with a sauna and a fireplace, and a few with a private pool. A few homes sleep up to eighteen. An immersed tunnel under the Fehmarn Belt is under construction and will eventually replace the ferry.

When to go to Rødby

Summer is the season for the coast and for day trips by ferry to Germany. Spring and autumn are quieter, so check opening hours for attractions and ferry timetables before you go. Work on the Fehmarn Belt tunnel began in 2021 and is not expected to open until the 2030s, so the ferry remains the way across for now.
