The final approach features rolling fields and glimpses of the coastline before you reach dedicated parking at the nature reserve's edge. Parking at Fyns Hoved is free, but spaces can be limited during weekends and holidays. The last stretch is along a single-track country road ending close to the walking trails and viewpoints.

A standard adult fare on regional buses within Funen is 24–36 DKK (around €3–5) each way.
