Welcome to Nyord
When you arrive at Nyord from Ulvshale on Møn on a clear day, the first thing you are struck by is the incredible wide open spaces. Nyord has an everlasting stretch of meadow and sky. The meadows are Nyord’s main attraction and home to thousands of birds. Just half way through the meadows, you can enter the bird tower and enjoy the magnificent view. A kilometre further in, after arriving at the island’s highlands, you turn and reach the nature centre Hyldevang. At the vantage point close by, you can get another breathtaking view across the meadows. Hyldevang offers good parking conditions, a playground, fireplace and shelters.
A small exhibition about Nyord is also available. Do not miss the idyllic, romantic stroll from Hyldevang into Nyord town via the old dirt road. It only takes 5 minutes and provides an unforgettable experience for life. Here, you get closest to Nyord’s nature. People who can’t make the walk and visitors to the church can use the small car park at the town. In addition, Restaurant Lollesgaard has a parking area for their guests. Access to this can be found just after the entrance to Nature Centre Hyldevang.
Nyord meadows – Eastern Denmark’s largest bird sanctuary
Nyord meadow is around 400 hectares large. It is one of the largest and most bird inhabited beach areas in East Denmark. Since 1971, almost half of the meadows are owned by the Birdlife Fund. This organisation bought the fields to preserve as one of Denmark’s most important habitats for geese, ducks and waders.
Shopping and restaurants
In winter, there isn’t much open on Nyord, so we recommend heading to Stege – where there is a wide selection of supermarkets and restaurants.
During the high season, our local restaurants ‘Lollesgaard’ and ‘Gaströ’ are open. They serve delicious home-cooked food with a local Nyord flavour. We always recommend booking a table.
In summer, Nyord has a small grocery shop called Nyord Ø-handel. Here you can buy basic groceries, souvenirs, art and so on.
Runas is our local gallery. Here, they produce and sell glass art, jewellery, paintings and more.
We also have Nordbohandlen. Here you can buy various spirits, locally produced goods and more.
