Spodsbjerg

Description

NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The approach to the well-lit harbour is unproblematic day and night from the fairway of the Great Belt. You steer with 270° towards the entrance and pay attention to the intermittent north-setting current, which, however, is mostly weakened in the entrance itself.

Berths

Guests will find free places in the marina at about 3m water depth. The ferry harbour is closed to pleasure craft and the fishing harbour is reserved for fishermen. In the narrow outer harbour, watch out for incoming and outgoing yachts and fishing boats.

Surroundings

Unfortunately, the Brugsen went out of business in May 2020. Nights supply 3km away. Milk and rolls can be obtained at the campsite. Re-opening is planned for April 21.

The modern marina together with the fishing harbour offers excellent service facilities. There is a ferry service to Lolland.

NV Land Guide

The only harbour on Langeland's east coast, Spodsbjerg is a good stopover for pleasure craft sailing in the Great Belt. Surrounded by a few houses, the fishing and yacht harbour is not that uncomfortable in itself, but the ferry harbour next door creates a bit of a disturbance. From here, passenger ships depart hourly to Tårs on Lolland. A short distance down the road is a grocery store with long opening hours and an attached petrol station. However, diesel supply is also possible directly at the harbour.

Several campsites and a summer cottage area near Spodsbjerg cannot detract from the charming scenic surroundings. The harbour is also popular with sports fishermen, who go fishing from here in small boats. On a positive note, the beach is child-friendly.

Like Lohals, Spodsbjerg was a pirate port in the Middle Ages that had to compete against the monopoly port of Rudkøbing. Merchants and farmers could export more cheaply through these ports than through those with the royal trading monopoly.

The village of Spodsbjerg itself offers no sights, unless you consider the railway station building, built in 1910, to be one. Nevertheless, several walking routes around the village invite you to stretch your legs in agricultural surroundings.

Three kilometres southwest of Spodsbjerg stands the mill of Nørre Longelse, also called the Adventure Mill, built in 1805. It has been converted into a restaurant by the present owner. It should not be confused with Møllegård Mill to the south of Spodsbjerg, which is on private land.

For those who are blown away in Spodsbjerg, a trip to Rudkøbing nine kilometres away is recommended.
