Discover Dodekalitten by bike - A cultural journey through the Lolland Alps
Want to combine art, nature and exercise in one experience? Then you can rent a bike from Larsson-Bike and head to the Dodekalitten - one of Lolland's most striking and fascinating tourist attractions. Starting from our shop at Lollands Centret 18, 4930 Maribo, you'll cycle through a varied landscape towards one of Denmark's most distinctive works of art under the open sky. The ride takes about an hour and the entire route is part of the scenic and hilly stretch that Naturlandet calls "The Lolland Alps".
Dodekalitten - Art in the grandeur of the landscape
Dodekalitten is a monumental stone sculpture consisting of twelve granite figures up to 7-9 meters high, standing on a hilltop near Kragenæs and looking out over the waters of Småland. The faces of the figures are turned towards the center, and the work combines sculpture with music - a special sound work plays around the clock in the area, creating an almost meditative atmosphere.
Dodekalitten is a major tourist attraction on Lolland, attracting visitors from both Denmark and abroad every year. The artwork is still under construction and evolves over time, making each visit unique. It is a magical place where art and nature merge and is best experienced in the open countryside - preferably from a bicycle saddle.
The bike route from Maribo to Dodekalitten
Your cycling experience starts in Maribo, where Larsson-Bike is based. From here it takes around 1 hour to cycle to Dodekalitten, depending on pace and breaks along the way. The ride is approximately 20 km long and offers a beautiful variety of open fields, small forests and villages. The hilly terrain gives you a good and varied ride that both challenges and rewards you with great views.
The route is known as "The Lolland Alps"and although it's not mountains in the traditional sense, you'll experience hills and ridges that stand out from the otherwise flat Lolland. It's the perfect route for those who want an active day with both movement and contemplation.
Cycling as part of the experience
Cycling to Dodekalitten is much more than transportation - it's an integral part of the experience. You feel the wind, smell the fields and see the landscape change the closer you get to the sculptures. You set your own pace and have the freedom to take small detours and breaks whenever you want.
There's something special about arriving at Dodekalitten by bike. It emphasizes the calm, almost spiritual encounter with art and nature - and gives you a sense of having earned the experience.
