The trip there takes you through open fields, small villages and coastal landscapes, where South Langeland shows its raw and beautiful nature.

A historic fort from the Cold War

Langelandsfortet was built in the 1950s as an important part of Denmark’s coastal defense. The location was strategic:
From here you could keep an eye on shipping traffic in the waters around the Baltic Sea, and in a time of global tension,
surveillance, preparedness and communication became part of everyday life. Today, the fort is a museum where you can move
around the original areas – and get a sense of what it was like to be “on the edge” of a major political conflict
that also left its mark on Denmark.

The best thing about the visit is that the experience works for many types of visitors: Feel free to geek out on the history in detail, or
take a more hands-on approach and spend time exploring the area, seeing the exhibitions and feeling the atmosphere.

Visitors can experience, among other things:

• Original gun emplacements and bunkers
• Exhibitions on espionage, surveillance and preparedness during the Cold War
• Military equipment and vehicles in the outdoor area
• Stories about Denmark’s defense and the time when the world was divided into blocs

This makes the fort an exciting experience for history buffs and families with children alike – especially because there is
plenty to see and the area invites you to walk around at your own pace.
