Getting There
-
Walking
From Løgstør's harborfront, it's a scenic stroll along the waterfront promenade toward the museum district, with the boatyard easily spotted near the cluster of historic maritime buildings beside the canal. Expect a relaxed 5–10-minute walk from central Løgstør, passing cafés and small shops. The route is flat and accessible but can be breezy near the water.
-
Public Transport
If arriving by regional bus to Løgstør’s central stop, the boatyard lies a short 10–15-minute walk through the town’s main historic area, heading toward the canalside marina. Alternatively, local taxis from the station area typically cost 70–100 DKK for the short ride, with stops near the museum entrance.
-
Driving
Limited free parking is available in the vicinity of the Limfjordsmuseet complex, adjacent to the marina district. During busy periods or events, spaces fill quickly, so alternative parking may require a 10–15-minute walk through the harbor area.
-
Cycling
The Limfjordsmuseet Bådebyggeri is easily accessed via local cycling routes that trace the Limfjord coastline. Bike racks are available nearby the museum entrance, with no extra cost for parking your bicycle.
