Gedser is the most southerly point of Denmark and Scandinavia. It goes far out into the Baltic Sea, and it is at this point that the Baltic Sea is the busiest waterway in Denmark.
The last advances of the Ice Age (where the tongue-formed ice glaciers moved forwards across the landscape) in Denmark was on Southfalster about 13.000 years ago.
Here the ice mass plowed down into the ground because of the enormous weight of the ice. Like a bulldozer it also pushed earth materials before the ice front and left this as a series of hills - today going from the Korselitze area in the north to Gedser Cliff continuing in the Gedser Reef in the south.
Gedser is a city with a short but lively history. An almost wild west-like start shooting up overnight. It has the functions of a new border city, with a ferry terminal and railway station.

Gedser was for the first years a city with an enormous growth, which can be seen by the building of schools. The first school was after only a couple of years too small, and another school had to be established 1905. This building is today library and houses furthermore the Archive of Local History and 'The Black Museum' - an exciting little geological museum with local findings as well as fine guest exhibitions from around the world. According to old legends you couldn't build a church in Gedser because a great flooding of the Baltic would destroy it as soon as it was finished. As the city was growing they started anyway on the church building in 1914. It was designed by the same architect who later built the big Church of Grundtvig in Copenhagen. Just outside the city we find the Svinehave Moat with the few remainders of Getzore Castle. It was first mentioned in the middle age king Valdemar Sejr's Jordebog (book of property) 1231 - in the 16th century it was the place where the kingly family and other distinguished travelers were hosted while waiting for proper weather to sail across the Baltic from the harbour in Gedesby. The Old Grocery Farm is a gallery featuring artwork exhibitions and a shop. It was a famous Danish industrial C.E Tietgen who built the railway from Nykøbing Falster to Gedser. The railway has been adjusted and readjusted since then, but the first station building is still intact.
