Knuthenborg Safari Park, located on the island of Lolland, is a great attraction. It is Denmark's largest park with more than 1,000 species of wildlife. If you stay at Danhostel Sakskøbing, you are not far from the Park.
Stevns Klint and Møns Klint (Cliffs), are two must-see attractions. The impressive Stevns Fort, built as a defence during the Cold War, has more than 1.6 km of underground corridors. At Stevns Fort Cold War Museum, take a guided tour underground. Stevns Fort and Stevns Klint are close to Danhostel Store Heddinge. Stay at Danhostel Vordingborg and visit Møns Klint.

The church is the final resting place for many nobles and royals such as Valdemar the Great, Knud VI, Valdemar Sejr, Erik Menved and Erik Plovpenning.
Vordingborg Castle, once a medieval fortress, is now a ruin and a popular attraction. Danish Castle Centre (Danmarks Borgcenter) has a new exhibition with interactive experiences about the ruins. When you shop, try to find one of the 20 DKK coins issued by Denmark’s National Bank which depicts the Goose Tower at Vordingborg Castle.
Visit the town of Køge, including the townhouses located near Køge Torv in the town centre. Visit the Town Hall and King Hans' Gård, which date back to 1550 and 1634 respectively. Køge is worth a visit if you are on your way to the island of Bornholm. The ferry leaves from Køge Harbour. Enjoy a night at Danhostel Køge and experience the area before you sail.
