Sponsored By Region Zealand A visit to Denmark is worthwhile if you want inspiration to improve the environment in your country. In this magazine we have selected a part of Denmark namely Region Zealand, including the islands Lolland, Falster and Møn as an area easy to visit within a short drive from Copenhagen, the port of arrival for most visitors to Denmark. The short distance between various attractions suggested in the magazine means you can visit more than one sight per day. Come and visit the green side of Region Zealand. I am sure you will enjoy it.

  • Southern Zealand
    © Lonely Planet Publications 137 Southern Zealand Towns in this nontouristy region are primarily modern, and most people shoot through them on their way to the southern beaches or to Jutland. However, there are nuggets of gold to be panned from the gravel. Køge is the prettiest town in the area, a delightfully preserved cobbledy place, with a medieval church and half-timbered houses straight from the lid of a chocolate box. Nearby is the adorable hamlet of Vallø, with a fairy-tale moated castle complete with frogs on lily pads. The third historical settlement worth your time is Sorø, again rich in history and tilted wooden homes. Viking fans have a gem in the remains of 1000-year-old Trelleborg, the best-preserved ring fortress in Scandinavia. It’s an evocative site, deep in Denmark’s rural heart and pretty much unencumbered by modern buildings and roads – squint, and you can almost believe SOUTHERN ZEALAND yourself back in Harald Bluetooth’s time. If you have kids, then Næstved is a must. Within a radius of 10km you’ll find the theme park BonBon-Land; FantasyLand, an indoor playground for younger kids; Holmegaard Glassworks, where your young ‘uns can engrave their names on glass or blow their own masterpiece; Næstved Zoo; and child-friendly beaches at Karrebæksminde. The triangular region between Næstved in the south and Sorø and Korsør to the north is spotted with forests, small lakes and streams, as close to undomesticated nature as you’ll find in Zealand. Hire a canoe in Næstved and explore the waterways at your leisure.

ISSN 1397-3169 The challenge of sustainable mobility in urban planning and development: Copenhagen Case 1 Preface This report presents the results of a study of the ways planners and decision-makers in Copenhagen Metropolitan Area have understood, interpreted, formulated policies and finally acted in relation to transport and land-use in a sustainability context during the period since the 1990s. The Copenhagen case is part of a comparative study also including the metropolitan areas of Oslo in Norway and Hangzhou in China. The project was funded by Volvo Research and Educational Foundation and was carried out during the period from the winter of 2007 to the summer of 2009. This is the second edition of the report, which was published in a first version in August 2009. In this new version, a number of errors that had unfortunately occurred in the first version have been corrected.
