Vordingborg Municipality: Birdlife, trails and history

On Ulvshale and Nyord, birdlife is the most significant natural attraction; both areas are internationally protected under the Ramsar Convention because of it. The area also features geological links to Møns Klint, open woodland and a varied network of trails. Vordingborg Municipality therefore offers a suitable setting if you would like to include nature, outdoor activities and culture in your trip.

Discover nature and trails

The Møn Biosphere Reserve is part of Vordingborg Municipality and includes 119 preserved megalithic tombs from prehistoric Denmark. Here, natural landscapes and early cultural history come together within the same region. Ulvshale itself was formed from flint stones from Møns Klint; Ulvshale Skov is an open, light-filled woodland pasture. The area’s geological origins and the open character of the woodland are two distinct aspects of the landscape.

The trail on Ulvshale can be used by wheelchair users and people with walking difficulties. This specific information about the trail may be useful when planning your outing if accessibility for people with reduced mobility is a consideration.

The Camønoen is 175 kilometres long and passes through Møn, Nyord and Bogø. It is divided into sections and side trips, allowing you to choose individual routes. When planning, you therefore do not need to treat the entire hiking trail as one single tour; you can focus on the sections you would like to include in your stay.

Vordingborg Municipality also has marked networks of walking, cycling and horse-riding trails. An official Camønoen rest stop offers water, toilets, electricity or a charging point, shelter, and the opportunity to meet local people. As well as choosing individual walking routes, you can therefore use other marked trails and a dedicated rest stop as points of reference.

Medieval history in Vordingborg and Stege

The Danmarks Borgcenter presents Vordingborg’s medieval history of power. The castle ruins include Gåsetårnet, the old ring wall and the remains of St Andrew’s Church. Visitors can explore the ruins with an audio guide. The historical context and the different architectural features thus offer distinct ways to explore Vordingborg’s past.

In Stege, Mølleporten is a well-preserved relic of the medieval town fortifications. The gate was probably built in the late Middle Ages, between 1418 and 1452. Visitors can enter Mølleporten and enjoy views of the town and sea from the historic fortifications. As visitor arrangements may change, check the latest visitor information in advance.

Museum and art

The historic merchant’s house, Empiregården, in Stege is home to Møns Museum. There, the museum presents twelve stories about Møn, from antiquity to the present day. Exhibition content may change over time. The stories’ broad historical span adds a wider perspective on Møn’s history to a visit to its historic buildings.

Kunsthal 44Møen displays works of public art in the surrounding countryside. All of the Kunsthal’s buildings are wheelchair accessible, with the exception of PS44. As accessibility may change, it is advisable to check the Kunsthal’s latest information before your visit.

Choose a hotel location to suit your plans

Would you like individual walking routes and birdlife to shape your stay, or are you mainly planning to visit the castle ruins in Vordingborg and Møns Museum in Stege? This decision gives you a personal benchmark for comparing hotel locations against your travel plans.
