Local tips
- Bring sturdy shoes—the paths can be rocky and uneven, especially on the headland itself.
- Pack a windbreaker; breezes are often brisk regardless of the season.
- Binoculars are a must for birdwatching, especially during spring and autumn migration.
- If you want a quieter experience, visit early in the morning or near sunset, when the light is especially magical.
- There are no shops or cafés in the direct area—bring food and water for a picnic.
Getting There
-
Public Transport
From Odense, regional buses connect to towns in the northern part of Funen, such as Kerteminde or Martofte. The journey usually involves a transfer and totals around 1.5 to 2 hours. The last stretch, often from Martofte, may require a taxi or a pleasant walk, depending on seasonal bus services. Expect public transport costs of about 60–90 DKK per adult, with additional taxi fares in the range of 80–120 DKK for the final few kilometers if required. Service frequency is lower on weekends and public holidays.
-
Driving/Parking
Reaching Fyns Hoved by car from Odense is a scenic drive through rural Funen, typically taking just under an hour. Parking is available in the main lot near the nature reserve entrance and is free of charge. On peak weekends in the summer, the lot can fill up early, so arriving before mid-morning or late afternoon is recommended.
-
Cycling
Fyns Hoved is accessible by bike for keen cyclists, with dedicated cycling routes running through the beautiful Funen countryside from Odense to the peninsula’s tip. The ride is approximately 35–40 km each way and takes two to three hours at a steady pace. The final stretch offers little shade or shelter, so bring water and gear for rapidly changing weather.
