Discover Glumsø

Glumsø offers several points of interest to help you plan your trip: the railway line, paths by the lake, woodland and natural landscapes, and culture centred around cycling and the church. If you’re looking for a hotel in Glumsø, you can prioritise these themes according to what interests you during your stay.

Getting here and paths by the lake

Regional trains on the railway line between Nykøbing Falster and Copenhagen stop at Glumsø station. The next stations along the line are Ringsted and Næstved. Check the current timetable before travelling, as timetables and transport services may change.

The paths along Glumsø Sø let you experience the lake, the surrounding countryside and its birdlife. The Hjertestien circular route around Glumsø Lake is about 3.8 kilometres long and easy to walk. Its length gives you a clear idea of what to expect from a walk around the lake. For most of the year, Hjertestien can be used by cyclists, wheelchair users and users of electric scooters. There is a bathing jetty at the beach, where you can jump into the water. In 2017, Glumsø Sø gained a six-metre freshwater beach. Before visiting, check the current status of the beach and bathing facilities.

Woodland and open countryside

Glumsø Skov and its associated natural area were established in 2004–2005. The forest consists mainly of deciduous trees, interspersed with conifers. Open landscapes surround the wooded areas, including nutrient-poor grassland, meadows, a lake and marshland. The landscape therefore includes open and wet areas as well as woodland. The forest and lake offer different points of interest if you want to plan your time in Glumsø around nature.

Cycling history at the museum

Dansk Cykel & Knallert Museum has a unique collection of vehicles from the world of Danish two-wheelers. These include many specialist bicycles and very rare mopeds. The exhibitions cover part of the history of cycling and its impact. In recent years, the exhibitions have placed particular emphasis on sports and racing bicycles, as well as the environment and the health benefits of cycling. The museum thus connects specific types of vehicles with broader themes related to cycling. Normally, children both older and younger can try out numerous unusual bicycles and vehicles. If this offering is important to your visit plans, check its current availability in advance.

Church and stone dolmen

Glumsø Kirke is a longhouse church with a Romanesque central section, and it is also a wayside church. If you’re planning a visit, check beforehand whether the church is currently accessible. From Glumsø, you can reach the Stendyssen via the old church path heading west. From there, you have an unobstructed view of the stone grave. Alongside nature and cycling, you’ll also find an architectural landmark and a path with a view of the stone grave.
