Landskrona

Description

NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

Those unfamiliar with the area should approach the well buoyed and lighted harbor from the north. It is important to note that the current can be very rough at times - especially in the harbor area - and can reach speeds of up to 4 knots. You should therefore sail through the fairway under engine power if possible in order to remain maneuverable. The maximum speed in the harbor area is 4 kn. 

Berths

Guests will find a berth close to the town in the inner part of Nyhamn Marina at a water depth of 3-5m. Behind the bascule bridge, which is operated with self-service, there are guest berths along the quay on the starboard side, also up to approx. 15m in length. The small boat harbor (water depth 2.5m) directly at the water tower is mainly occupied by moorers.

The water depth in the boat harbor is only 1.9m until further notice according to the Sjöfartsverket (16761 T, 5/22).

Surroundings

The marina has STF guest harbor standard. There are very good shopping facilities in the town itself.

A huge water tower, the top of which is reminiscent of a flying saucer, overshadows the harbor. Lying beneath the futuristic concrete structure may cause trepidation in anyone who is suspicious of contemporary structural engineers. But anyone who (like the Vikings of old) is only afraid that the sky might fall on their head one day will not be put off by a small water tower. And apart from the three-legged water reservoir, the surrounding area certainly has its charm, which is mainly due to the extensive citadel area to the north of the harbor. This military complex from the Middle Ages, now surrounded by greenery and a moat, dates back to Danish King Christian III. Built in 1549, it now serves as a museum. Restaurants and artisans have also established themselves here.

Unfortunately, large parts of the medieval buildings fell victim to the construction of the citadel and the redoubts on the island of Graaen to the south of the harbour, meaning that Landskrona has hardly any historical treasures from this period. One of the exceptions is a half-timbered house built in 1627 in Stora Norregatan.

The town's most famous "daughter" is the teacher Selma Lagerlöf, who wrote the later world-famous novel "'Gösta Berling" in Kungsgatan 13 around 1890.

The white bathhouse built into the sound to the west of the marina attracts fewer visitors today than the open-air swimming pool in the immediate vicinity of the moorings, but it is a gem from the early days of bathing culture. You can also enjoy the sun's rays on the terrace of the "Mat" café right by the harbor. However, the enjoyment is diminished by the hustle and bustle caused by ferry traffic (to Copenhagen and the island of Ven) and the nearby industrial port, making Landskrona only a port worth recommending to a limited extent.

The south-eastern marina of Lundakrå, which is located on the edge of a large industrial area, has far more negative points. With the appropriate backdrop and around 50 advertising posters, a number of weekend vacationers feel at home in rust-brown wooden huts at the harbour. The distance to the city center is about two kilometers. A kiosk is available.
