Local tips
- Bring a mix of lures and natural bait, as fish can switch preferences with light, temperature and fishing pressure through the day.
- Pack layered clothing and waterproofs; the open lakeside can feel cool and breezy, even when inland areas seem mild.
- If you are visiting with children, start at the designated kids’ lake where shorter casts and higher stocking make success more likely.
- Check current opening hours and ticket options in advance, as times and day passes can vary by season and special night-fishing periods.
- Bring a small chair or kneeling mat for comfort on the gravel and grass banks, especially if you plan to fish several hours from one spot.

Getting There
-
Car from central Copenhagen
From central Copenhagen, reaching Drive In Put and Take by car typically takes 35–50 minutes depending on traffic. The route follows main roads toward northwest Zealand and then local roads into Lynge, with mostly flat, easy driving. There is on-site parking close to the lakes, but it can fill on fine-weather weekends, so arriving early in the morning or later in the afternoon helps. Expect to budget for normal Danish fuel and road costs only; there are no special tolls specific to this short trip.
-
Regional train and bus from Copenhagen area
Using public transport, you can combine a regional S-train toward towns northwest of Copenhagen with a local bus connection to Lynge. The total journey time is usually 60–90 minutes, depending on connections and waiting times. Standard single adult fares for the combined zones are typically in the range of 40–80 DKK each way. Buses run at reduced frequency in evenings and on some weekends, so it is important to check the latest timetable and allow extra time for the final walk from the nearest bus stop to the fishery entrance.
-
Taxi from nearby town (e.g., Farum or Allerød)
From nearby towns such as Farum or Allerød you can take a taxi directly to Nymøllevej 9. The drive is usually 10–20 minutes, depending on starting point and traffic. Local taxi companies typically charge both a base flagfall and a per‑kilometre rate; for this distance a one‑way trip commonly falls in the region of 150–300 DKK. Taxis are a practical option if you are carrying bulky fishing gear or visiting outside regular bus hours, but pre-booking is advisable at early or late times of day.

Clear Lakes in a Former Gravel Pit
Drive In Put and Take occupies a reclaimed gravel pit on the outskirts of Lynge, surrounded by soft slopes, grass and scattered trees reflected in the water. The basins are deep and clear, with visibility that lets you follow cruising trout when the light is right. The wide shoreline provides plenty of space, so you are rarely shoulder to shoulder with other anglers. Because the area started life as an extraction site, the banks are mostly even and accessible, with a mix of gravel, short grass and the occasional jetty or platform. You are close to the elements here: wind riffles the surface, birds circle overhead and the light shifts constantly across the water, making each visit feel slightly different.A Fishing Park for All Levels
The lakes are stocked primarily with rainbow trout, often supplemented with larger fish and occasional bonus species to keep regulars on their toes. You can work spinners and spoons along the drop-offs, twitch small wobblers, or keep it simple with a float and natural bait near the margins. Fly fishers find room to cast on the more open banks, especially when the breeze helps straighten the line. A dedicated children’s lake allows younger anglers to try their luck in a manageable setting, with shorter casts and high odds of contact. This makes the site a practical choice for multi‑generation outings, where experienced fishers can focus on technique while newcomers concentrate on their first catch.Facilities and Practical Comforts
On site you find straightforward facilities tailored to a day outdoors. Basic restrooms serve the main area, and there are spots where you can pause on benches or improvised seating while watching the water. Simple shelter is typically available for taking cover from showers, rigging tackle, or enjoying a snack between sessions. Information boards and local signage outline rules, ticket options and recommended practices, keeping the focus on safety and fair use of the lakes. While the atmosphere is relaxed, bag limits and lake-specific guidelines help protect fish stocks so the experience remains rewarding across the season.Atmosphere Through the Day and Seasons
Early mornings tend to be quiet and contemplative, with mist clinging to the surface and the first rises betraying active fish. As the day advances, the banks become livelier with families, small groups and solo anglers spreading around the water. On selected days and periods, extended opening hours can allow evening or even night fishing, when headlamps and lanterns take over from the sun and the lakes feel more intimate. Seasonal changes are pronounced here. Spring often brings energetic trout in cool water, while summer days can be best around sunrise and sunset. In autumn, the surrounding foliage adds warm colour to the slopes, and crisp air makes a hot drink between casts especially welcome. Mild winter periods can still produce action, rewarding those who dress for the chill.Planning Your Visit
Most visitors plan to spend several hours at Drive In Put and Take, combining active fishing with breaks for food, conversation and quiet observation. The open layout means you can move around the lakes to find your preferred depth, wind angle or level of company. With no need for a boat, shore-based access keeps logistics simple. To make the most of the experience, it is worth checking current stocking patterns, opening hours and any special rules before you set off. Bringing layered clothing, sun and rain protection, and a small seat or mat adds comfort, especially if you expect to stay through changing weather. Whether you are chasing a personal-best trout or introducing a child to their first fish, the site offers a focused yet relaxed setting not far from the city.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
