Description

A sheltered natural harbour with some moorings west of Lolland at the exit of Nakskov Fjord.

NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The approach to the natural harbour is only recommended during the day with great caution. After having circumnavigated the Albuen headland at an appropriate distance because of the many set nets and the unsafe depths, steer carefully with echo sounder to the east end of the buoyed channel (2m water depth). Halfway between Sandodde and the jetties inside the bay are some unmeasured large stones, marked by a pole by the fisherman, left to port.

Berths

Guests can - if available - find a place at the bridges of the Nakskov Sailing Club on 1 - 2m water depth. On weekends the jetties are reserved for the sailing club.

Anchorage: A good and quite sheltered anchorage can be found on the north shore of Albuen harbour at 2 - 2.5m water depth.

Surroundings

At the place you will find a sanitary facility of the sailing club.

NV Land Guide

For nature lovers, Albuen is a heavenly spot and a very quiet one at that. A few fishermen's houses, a lighthouse, grazing sheep, a beautiful beach with rare beach plants, a jetty from Nakskov Sailing Club, and set nets: This is Albuen Havn. It is hard to imagine that anything more than the breeding of terns and gulls ever took place here. But Albuen was by no means always the world's secluded place. Life "bubbled" on this deserted stretch of land in the Middle Ages. The reason: the herring fishing grounds around the "elbow", as Albuen is called in translation, were among the most productive in the Baltic Sea. In the alleys of the former village there was a lively trade in fish. The Hanseatic League bought here. Even the French are said to have supplied themselves with fish at the tip of the peninsula, which looks like an elbow on the map. The place was not large, but still so important that Erich of Pomerania had a building erected here in which imperial days (Thing) were held. Many remains of houses from this heyday of Albuen are no longer to be seen. And the remains of the walls, which the attentive observer discovers, are gnawed by the ravages of time.

The shallow water in Albue Havn and Søndernoor offers bathers the advantage that it warms up quickly when the sun shines. Incidentally, the seclusion is an argument for not continuing one's journey the very next day.

Whoever leaves the "elbow" to the south on the "upper arm" will, after a five-kilometre walk along the shore of Langeland Belt or Søndernoor, come across the dyke that stretches along the entire southwest coast of Lolland.
