Voykit pocket guide · Denmark

Sakskøbing

Spend a half‑day in Sakskøbing to see the church and harbour, then head to Nykøbing Falster for drinks; one night if you need a base.

Sakskøbing is a tiny Lolland town of about 5,000 people offering a glimpse of rural Danish life. Its main sights – the medieval church, Oreby Harbour and Krenkerup Gods – are within walking distance. Trains run half‑hourly to Nykøbing Falster, so a short stay (half‑day) works, with an optional night in the local hotel if you prefer not to travel after dark.
