Local tips
- Pack sturdy shoes and windproof clothing—trails can be uneven and the headland is often breezy, even in summer.
- Bring binoculars for excellent birdwatching, especially during spring and autumn migrations.
- There are no shops or cafes on the headland; bring water and snacks, especially if planning a long hike.
- Public toilets are available at main parking areas but are limited; plan accordingly.
- Arriving early or in the evening is particularly rewarding for photographers and those seeking solitude.
Getting There
-
Car
From Odense or central Funen, the headland is best reached by car. Rural roads wind north through classic Funen countryside, passing through Martofte village before reaching parking areas near the reserve’s entrance. Parking is free but may fill up in summer or on sunny weekends; additional roadside options are available. The final approach includes panoramic sea views, and you’ll know you’ve arrived when grassy fields open toward the wind-swept peninsula.
-
Public Transport
The nearest main transport hub is Odense. From there, regional buses head toward Kerteminde or Martofte, with services typically taking 60-90 minutes (adult ticket about 60–80 DKK). From Martofte, Fyns Hoved is a further 6 km, reachable by local taxi (typically 120–180 DKK for the short journey) or by bike. Bicycles can be rented in many Funen towns and provide a scenic, traffic-light ride, though be prepared for limited bus frequencies, especially on weekends.
-
Bicycle
Cyclists can follow well-marked routes from Kerteminde or central Funen northward, passing through quiet villages and coastal landscapes. Expect a half-day’s ride for the full distance from Odense (~45 km), with multiple scenic spots along the route for rest or photography. No tolls or charges apply for bike access to the reserve.
