Twelve stone pillars, a prehistoric mound and routes through the town, harbour and forest give Kragenæs some specific points of interest for a stay. The Dodekalitten and Glentehøj provide a cultural focus; the routes differ in their course and mode of transport. Kragenæs Marina Beach is by the harbour, while ferries run from Kragenæs to Fejø and Femø. When planning your trip, you can weigh up culture, walking, cycling, the beach and a possible ferry crossing as different priorities.

The Dodekalitten and Glentehøj

The Dodekalitten consists of twelve stone pillars. Each is seven to nine metres high and weighs 25 to 45 tonnes. A built-in 12-channel sound system plays spatial electroacoustic music. The Dodekalitten can be visited free of charge at any time throughout the year, while the music plays daily during daylight hours.

Glentehøj lies about 300 metres to the west and was built around 3200 BC. The two sites offer different cultural experiences: the Dodekalitten centres on stone pillars and sound, while Glentehøj is a prehistoric mound. This makes it possible to distinguish between a sound work featuring twelve pillars and a much older cultural site as separate subjects for a visit.

Walking and cycling routes

The Glentehøjstien runs from the town of Kragenæs to Glentehøj and past the Dodekalitten. The 5 km “Oplev Kragenæs” walking route passes through the town and harbour of Kragenæs, through Klinteskoven forest and past the Dodekalitten as well. The routes therefore share one cultural site but differ in their course: Glentehøj is the main destination on the Glentehøjstien, while “Oplev Kragenæs” includes the town, harbour and forest.

You can choose the “De lollandske alper” route for cycling. It is 36 km long, starts and ends at Kragenæs harbour, and is signposted with symbols. Since it starts and ends at the harbour, it can be considered a circular route. Compared with the 5 km walking route, the cycling route is considerably longer; the two also involve different activities and types of route.

Harbour beach and ferry connections

Kragenæs Marina Beach is part of Kragenæs harbour. The beach has a low jetty and a fine, stone-free sandy bottom, making it suitable for children and adults. You can swim from the floating jetty and launch kayaks and windsurf boards. Alongside the routes, the harbour therefore offers specific opportunities for activities on the water.

Ferries run from Kragenæs to Fejø and Femø. If you are planning a crossing, check the current departure times, reservations and fares in advance, as these may vary. The ferries are therefore a separate point to consider alongside walking routes, the bike ride and activities at the harbour.
