Free parking is available in a small lot adjacent to the burial mound, though spaces can be limited in summer.

Buses from the main hubs on Mors Island reach the surrounding village area, with connections available from Nykøbing Mors. From the nearest stop, expect a pleasant 10–20 minute scenic walk through open countryside to reach the mound. A single ticket typically costs 24-35 DKK, and bus service is reduced on weekends and outside summer months.
