Getting there

Walking

From the heart of Rold Skov, it's a relaxed walk through woodland clearings towards the cluster of buildings bordering the forest edge. As you near the open meadow where woodland meets cultivated grounds, Rold Storkro stands distinctly, often visible between the trees. The stroll typically takes 5–15 minutes, depending on your starting point along the trails.

Taxi/Car

For those arriving by taxi or private car from central Rold Skov areas like the main visitor center, expect a scenic forest drive lasting about 5 minutes. There is free guest parking immediately adjacent to the inn, but during holidays or large events the lot may fill quickly; alternative parking can be found a short walk away.

Public Transport

Local buses service the Skørping area, stopping at the edge of the forest near Rold Storkro. From the main forest visitor hub, it’s a short ride, usually under 10 minutes (€2–3, adult fare). From the nearest bus stop, the inn is plainly signposted and less than a 10-minute stroll through open parkland.
