For the last 6 years Korsør hosted tourists from 9 cruise ships. The town is situated around a harbour which for centuries has been an important part of its inhabitants' daily life. To move from the southern part of the town to the northern, or vice versa, citizens have to pass over a bridge which at certain times of the day will be raised in order to let ships in or out of the fiord. Boats, vessels, merchant ships and the occasional cruise liner are regular visitors.
A few miles from the town centre you will find two beautiful, old woods. Both of them are very popular amongst the locals and their guests. They are easy accessible, cars and motorbikes may drive on indicated routes only, leaving many areas free for walking and cycling in "Lystskoven" whereas "Klarskoven" is for walkers and bikers only. Both woods have a rich diversity of plant, bird and animal life.
