World heritage, cliffs and market towns – right on the doorstep
Coming to Dambækgaard for a wedding, a celebration or a pop up dinner? Stay an extra day. These are the places we recommend ourselves.
Stevns is world heritage, chalk and coast – an hour from Copenhagen. Everything below is within a 40-minute drive of the farm.
UNESCO World Heritage. Walk the cliff-top path, hunt for fossils on the beach and step into Højerup old church, perched on the edge above the sea.
Visitor centre in the old Boesdal quarry, telling the story of the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs – and of the chalk, the cliff and life on Stevns.
An underground fortress cut 18 metres into the cliff. Guided tours through 1.7 km of secret tunnels and gun emplacements from the Cold War.
Fishing harbour with a smokehouse, ice cream on the pier and a long sandy beach. From here the coastal path leads to the cliff – on foot or by bike.
One of northern Europe’s largest quarries – a 63-million-year-old coral reef. Geological museum, viewpoints and fossils you may chip out yourself.
Treetop walkway through the Gisselfeld Kloster forests and the 45-metre Forest Tower with its spiralling ramp – and views across all of South Zealand.
Renaissance castle with a moat and a large park that is free to roam. A walk under old trees – just around the corner from the farm.
Market town with cobbled streets, one of Denmark’s oldest squares and market days on Wednesdays and Saturdays. KØS – the museum of art in public spaces – sits right on the square.
The Viking Ship Museum on the fjord – row a Viking boat yourself in summer – and Roskilde Cathedral, burial church of the Danish kings and UNESCO World Heritage.

If you hold your wedding, celebration or company day with us, guests can stay the night on the farm – in the apartment, the rooms or the guesthouse. The morning after becomes part of the day: breakfast, a walk in the fields and a trip to the cliff before you head home.
