Hummingen brings together two clear points of reference for planning your trip: the sandy beach on Lolland’s south coast and the Lollandske Dige dyke right next to Hummingen Strand. If you want to plan your stay around the water, there is a bathing jetty at the beach; if you prefer to get around on foot or by bike, you can use the dyke and choose between different cycling routes.

Beach and arrival

Hummingen Strand is a sandy beach on the south coast of Lolland. You can reach it by car via Østersøparken, which leads to the beach car park. The bathing jetty is another distinctive feature of this stretch of beach. In 2025, the bathing water at Hummingen was classified as “excellent”; the rating was based on samples from the 2021 to 2024 bathing seasons. If you are travelling in a later season, check the rating then in effect.

Walking and cycling along the dyke

The Lollandske Dige is accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. Near Hummingen, a route leads onto the dyke and offers views of the reclaimed land and the Fehmarn Belt. This gives you two different details to consider when planning an outing: the access information tells you how you can get around, while the route describes a specific stretch near Hummingen and the views it offers. Together with the beach, this gives you a choice between looking out over the water and enjoying the view from the dyke.

Cycling routes in different directions

The “Det flade Lolland” cycling route starts and ends in Kramnitze and heads west from there through Hummingen. You can follow it in the “Naturlandet Lolland-Falster” app; check that the app is available before your trip. For orientation, it is useful to know that Hummingen lies along the route, while Kramnitze is the stated start and end point. This lets you distinguish the section through Hummingen from the route’s endpoints.

The “Østersøruten” offers a different route: the cycle path follows the dyke from Hummingen to Rødbyhavn. From Hummingen, you can continue east along the route and follow the “Nakskov Fjordstien” cycle path along the fjord to the centre of Nakskov. The routes therefore differ in direction: “Det flade Lolland” names Kramnitze as its start and end point, while the “Østersøruten” follows the dyke to Rødbyhavn and offers the option of continuing east towards Nakskov. This gives you specific destinations to compare without treating the different routes as though they were the same.

Another accommodation option

In the Hummingen holiday-home area, the Digegaarden shelter site is located behind the Lollandske Dige. Seasonal operating restrictions may apply. If you plan to visit Digegaarden, check the conditions for your travel dates in advance.
