Local tips
- Bring a flashlight or use your phone’s light for the best experience inside, as the interior is quite dark.
- The ground inside and around the mound may be uneven and slippery after rain, so sturdy footwear is recommended.
- Early mornings or evenings often mean fewer visitors and the chance for atmospheric photographs with beautiful light.
- There are no toilets or facilities at the site; plan accordingly if visiting as part of a longer walk.
- Spring and early summer are especially scenic times to visit, with wildflowers blooming around the mound.
Getting There
-
Driving
From Rudkøbing at the island’s center, a scenic drive south through farmland and small villages brings you near the coast, with clear roadside signage marking the approach to Hulbjerg. Parking is generally available in a small, informal area at the edge of fields beside the mound. There are no parking fees here. In high summer, spots can fill up, and visitors may need to park a short distance away and walk along a farm track.
-
Cycling
Cyclists can follow Langeland’s designated cycling routes from Rudkøbing or Bagenkop, weaving through tranquil countryside and picturesque hamlets. The site is well signposted as you approach the southern tip of the island. Expect the final segment to be on a quiet rural lane. Bike parking is informal at the site, and the last stretch may be bumpy due to unpaved surfaces.
-
Taxi
Taxis from either Rudkøbing or Bagenkop take 20–30 minutes to reach Hulbjerg, depending on pick-up point, and typically cost 250–350 DKK one-way. The mound is a well-known destination to local drivers, and drop-off is possible right at the access path.
-
Walking
While ambitious, a hike from Bagenkop or Hesselbjerg to Hulbjerg leads you through rolling fields and along country lanes bordered by wildflowers. The burial site becomes visible on a small hill as you draw closer. The walk takes around 45–75 minutes from nearby towns, best enjoyed in mild weather.
