Skelnæs Pavilion

Skelnæs Pavilion is an open pavilion located in Søholt Storskov. Søholt Storskov (and surrounding areas that were formerly farmland) was taken over in 2019 by Aage V. Jensen Nature Foundation. Using old maps, the areas are in the process of being restored to their former state.

Skelnæs Pavilion is located about 1.5 km “into the forest” close to the Maribo Lakes. Signs show the way into the forest. The pavilion was built in 1822 and is maintained on an ongoing basis.

Skelnæs Pavilion is a perfect destination for a walk or bike ride. Bring your food and enjoy it in beautiful, peaceful surroundings.
