NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The approach to the fired harbour is possible day and night. It is done via the buoyed fairway. At night it is not easy to make out the lighting in the general lighting of the city.

Berths

Guest moorers will find plenty of space in the modern yacht and boat harbours on 1.5 to 7.5m water depth. Large yachts can also find berths very close to the city in Vester or Østerhavn at 5m water depth.

Surroundings

All utilities are available. Diesel and petrol can be obtained at the marina.

The former ferry harbour on the east shore of Østerø, as well as the small harbours "Sliphavn" and "Lindholm" (see S10A) are closed to recreational boating.

Next to the harbour office is a excellent sailors lounge with cooking possibilities and washer and dryer.

The somewhat built-up town of Nyborg is no longer obvious at first glance that it is already over 700 years old, making it one of Denmark's oldest provincial towns. Moreover, as the scene of many historical events, it has had a decisive influence on the history of the country. For example, the first Danish court, comparable to the German Reichstag, was held at Nyborg Castle in 1183. At times, the clergy, nobility and king met here every year. The meeting of the powerful in 1282 had a decisive impact on the Danish Empire. The nobility forced the weak King Erik Klipping to relinquish his unrestricted power and denied him far-reaching rights. The agreements were recorded in the so-called Håndfæstning, Denmark's first constitution. For the first time it was stipulated that no one could be imprisoned without a court sentence. In 1413 Erik of Pomerania held the last Diet here, at which South Jutland was returned to Denmark.

Nyborg Castle is the birthplace of King Christian II. (1481), who was imprisoned in Sønderborg after the Count's Feud (see Sønderborg). During the Count's Feud, the people of Nyborg made the mistake of standing up for Christian II and the restoration of the monarchy. Christian II lost the battle, and many Nyborgians took flight for fear of the counts' revenge.

The castle was built around 1170 by Duke Knud Prislavsen as a link in the chain of fortifications designed to protect the Great Belt from Wendish pirates. The other links in the chain were the island of Sprogø and Korsør on the opposite shore of Zealand. In the 12th century the castle was completely surrounded by a moat. The quadrangular complex consisted of a two-metre thick ring wall with corner towers, with the residential wing integrated into the wall. Although the fortress was demolished in 1869 because the stones were needed elsewhere as building material, the lowest part of the main tower and the restored west wing are still preserved. The latter also houses the old knights' hall. During June, July and August the castle can be visited every day.

Mads Lerches Gård in Slotsgade is one of the best-preserved merchants' yards in the country. Built in 1601 by Mayor Mads Lerche, the half-timbered building is now a regional museum of cultural history, with collections spread across 26 exhibitions. Among other things, an ethnographic exhibition features items from China and the Congo, a reminder that Nyborg also had a name as a seafaring town.

Around 1550, the town demanded a customs duty from every ship that passed through the Great Belt. It was collected by a guard ship that was constantly near the island of Sprogø between Korsør and Nyborg (see also Korsør). The customs duties brought temporary prosperity to the town, but the war against the Swedes (1658 to 1659) left the town downright impoverished. After a modest recovery, a fire destroyed half the town in the 18th century.

The Landporten (Land Gate) in Lindenallee is Denmark's longest fortress gate. It was built in 1660 by Frederik III when he strengthened the fortress and extended the ramparts after the Swedish War.

The Land Gate was the only land access to the city at that time. To commemorate the fact that the gate was closed at 10pm, the church bells still ring a quarter of an hour earlier, as they did then.

At Kongens Bastionsweg stands a small whitewashed brick tower, which around 1650 was a support for the row of palisades of the King's Bastion, which stretched across the causeway. According to legend, a "beautiful maiden" was walled in here, expecting a child from her poor lover. The background of the legend is that at that time it was a sacrilege to bring illegitimate children into the world - especially if the lover was not wealthy. In any case, since the death of the woman, a dog with glowing eyes is said to wander here every night as a ghost.

The foundation stone of the Vor Frue church was laid by Queen Margarethe in 1388. Among the special features of the church is a wrought-iron grille by the Bavarian master Casper Finke. The church is open to the public through the southern door.

Nyborg's well-preserved ramparts extend in a semicircle around the old part of town. A walk along the old ramparts, past the town's open-air theatre, is well worthwhile. For the rest, Nyborg has a long pedestrian zone.

One of the sights in the area is the Renaissance castle of Holckenhavn, two kilometres south of Nyborg. However, it may only be visited on Tuesdays and Sundays (2-6pm) the park is open. Dyrehavns Mill, built in 1858, is located on the southern outskirts of the city. Southwest of Nyborg is the watermill at Refsvindinge. The distance to Nyborg is about eight kilometres, but the hike through the valley is recommended.

Gepflegte Sanitäranlagen, Einkaufen mit Netto und SuperBrugsen fußläufig. Yachthafen ist recht leblos mit einigen runtergekommen Schiffen. Lärm durch angrenzende Industrie hörbar laut. Den Schiffsausrüster gibt es nicht mehr. Großer schön gestalteter Spielplatz direkt am Hafen. Die Stadt hat einige alte, gut erhaltene Häuser und Straßen, ist aber ansonsten eher unschön. Das „Schloss” ist runtergekommen, wird aber anscheinend modernisiert.

Großer gepflegter Hafen, aber trotzdem ist ein Liegeplatz nicht leicht zu finden. Es ist alles am Hafen vorhanden was man braucht. Saubere Sanitäranlagen. Ein Netto und ein Bäcker fußläufig. Die Stadt selbst sieht etwas ungeplant aus.
