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.
