Getting There
-
Private Car
From Kalundborg town center, it’s a short drive northward toward Røsnæs, heading out through open countryside with glimpses of the fjord. Signage for Røsnæs Strandpark appears as you approach the peninsula. Ample public parking is available within the park (no fee), but during summer weekends, spaces closer to the grave can fill quickly. The passage grave is then a short walk from the lot, visible atop a low rise beyond open grassy fields.
-
Taxi
A taxi ride from central Kalundborg to Røsnæs Strandpark takes roughly 10–15 minutes, skirting through scenic farmland before arriving at the coastal park entrance. Expect fares in the range of DKK 140–180 each way depending on day and time. Taxis can drop passengers off at the main parking area, with the Jættestue reached by a leisurely stroll across open grass.
-
Bicycle
Cyclists enjoy a picturesque, slightly hilly route from Kalundborg, passing through quiet villages and roadside hedgerows. The ride to the Strandpark typically takes 30–40 minutes at a relaxed pace. Bicycle parking is provided at the main park entrance, and from there the jættestue is visible across the meadows.
-
Public Transport
Local buses from Kalundborg central station run towards Røsnæs, with a stop near the main entrance to Røsnæs Strandpark (service is less frequent on weekends and holidays). A standard one-way adult ticket costs around DKK 24–30. From the stop, it’s a 10–15-minute walk through the park’s open landscape to reach the passage grave. Check timetables in advance, as the service is limited, especially outside peak season.
