Also there is a Christmas Market taking place in the gardens during two weekends in November, which is one of the largest in the country. Art-, book-, hunting- and health-fairs also take place. The history of "Kähler" has its beginning in 1839, when Herman Kähler took over an old pottery in Næstved, and founded the Kähler ceramic workshop. The old pottery is still located downtown Næstved on "Kählersbakken", a ten-minute walk from the Axeltorv Square in the city centre. Easy access to the city is one of the top priorities for the local politicians of Næstved. Rail and roads are administrated by the State, so there is a lot of Lobbying going on behind the scenes. Locals are trying to get a motorway-connection for the city these days, but so far without success. On the other hand, the railways to and from Næstved have been improved greatly over the years, making Næstved easily accessible by train from most parts of Zealand. Næstved has two stations both operated by DSB, Næstved Station and Næstved Nord Station. Næstved Station serves trains on the Sydbanen line, and is the southern terminus for trains on the Lille Syd line. German ICE trains on the Copenhagen-Hamburg route stop at Næstved station. Næstved Nord only serves the Lille Syd line. Heavy traffic on the motorways to Copenhagen has increased the number of commuters using rail-transport to and from the Copenhagen area. A broad network of buses connects Næstved City to its urban area, as well as all major surrounding cities. Ticketprices are reasonable, and tickets are bought from the driver when boarding the bus. All buses depart from the bus-terminal at "Næstved Station" in the center of the town. The infrastructure in Næstved has been under pressure for some years now. The roads in the city center are heavily crowded at mornings and in the afternoon. The absence of a direct motorway-connection to Copenhagen has led to numerous discussions over the years, but still, Næstveders have to take the 15-minute roadtrip to nearby Rønnede (East of the city) to access the E47/E55, connecting the area to the rest of Europe. There are direct road connections to nearby Ringsted, Rønnede, Slagelse, Præstø and Vordingborg (80 km/h) - all four cities within 30 minutes reach.
