The beach stretches from the harbour of Faxe Ladeplads to the Faxe Å; Strandskoven Sibirien connects forest and beach along the coast. Other attractions include a miniature model of the town, a church in the English Gothic Revival style and a walking route that starts in Faxe Ladeplads. You can choose between different options, focusing on the beach, forest, local history or hiking.

Beach and Coastal Forest

The beach stretches from the harbour of Faxe Ladeplads to the Faxe Å and has a bathing jetty. Strandskoven Sibirien connects forest and beach along the coast. Here, you can climb up and down the embankment or climb the many gnarled trees. There is a parking area for Strandskoven Sibirien 200 metres east of Vemmetoftevej 10. This distinction makes it easy to choose between the coastal options: the beach has a bathing jetty, while the forest offers its own climbing opportunities. So you can decide whether to focus more on the beach or on climbing in the coastal forest.

A Walking Route with a Destination of Its Own

The Faxe Ladeplads–Strandegård Dyrehave walking route starts in Faxe Ladeplads and is a detour from the Sjællandsleden. It leads to the coastal landscape near Strandegård Dyrehave, where there are views towards Møns Klint and Stevns Klint. This sets the route apart from the beach and forest attractions in Faxe Ladeplads: it has a named starting point, a connection to the Sjællandsleden and a destination in a coastal landscape with views of two cliffs. If you want to choose based on the type of experience, you can opt for a beach with a bathing jetty, a coastal forest with climbing opportunities or a walking route.

Miniature Town and Local History

Faxe Ladeplads Miniby og Park depicts Faxe Ladeplads as it was between 1900 and 1920, at a scale of 1:10. A scale of 1:10 means that the miniature’s dimensions are one tenth of the corresponding dimensions of the original it depicts. The town’s history as a destination for relaxation and holidays dates back to the end of the 19th century. This places the period depicted in the context of Faxe Ladeplads’s longer history as a place for recreation. Faxe Ladeplads Miniby og Park also has an 18-hole miniature golf course. Here, two different interests come together: the historical model of the town and 18-hole miniature golf.

Hylleholt Kirke was built between 1875 and 1878 in the English Gothic Revival style; its spire is 39 metres high. The church predates the period depicted by the miniature town. The two therefore offer different historical points of reference: the church, built between 1875 and 1878, and the model of Faxe Ladeplads from 1900 to 1920. Gothic Revival refers to the revival of Gothic architectural forms; the term “English” specifies the church’s particular style.
