Local tips

  • Bring water for your dog, as there are no fountains on site.
  • Waste bags are available, but it’s wise to carry extras, especially on busy weekends.
  • Combine a visit with a walk through the nearby heath or an afternoon at Lakolk Beach—both are dog-friendly.
  • The ground can get muddy after rain, so bring a towel for your pet and appropriate footwear.
  • If visiting in summer, mornings and late afternoons are quieter and more comfortable for sensitive pets.

Getting There

  • Walking

    Starting from Havneby’s central hub—near the ferry port and main shops—you can enjoy an easy 15–25 minute walk along quiet village roads until you reach the edge of the forests marking the entrance to Hundeskoven Vråby. The walk is flat, and you’ll pass a blend of residential houses and fields, making it suitable for families and visitors with dogs. There is no admission fee, and no barriers restrict access for walkers or cyclists.

  • Cycling

    Rømø’s well-maintained network of cycle paths connects main island settlements with the park area. From the vicinity of the island’s central supermarket or the Lakolk resort area, it’s a pleasant 10–20 minute ride through woodland and fields. Locking racks are available at the dog park entrance. No bike rental is available at the site, so organize one at your accommodation—rental typically costs DKK 80–110 per day.

  • Driving

    There is free parking close to the park entrance, reached via the main approach from Havneby or Rømø’s central villages. During holiday periods, spaces can be limited, especially around midday and weekends. There are no tolls or parking meters.

  • Taxi

    Taxis from Havneby’s ferry terminal or central accommodations provide a comfortable, quick route to the park, generally taking 5–10 minutes. Fares for this short journey range from DKK 60–100, depending on demand and company.

Hundeskoven Vråby is an inviting retreat for canine companions and their humans in the heart of Rømø, Denmark. Tucked near the village of Havneby, this spacious, securely fenced dog forest covers an area of lush woodland and sandy clearings, providing the ideal setting for dogs to run unleashed and interact with new friends. The park’s paths twist through a gently rolling landscape shaded by mature trees, blending open meadows and dense vegetation to offer stimulation for energetic pups and calming spots for quiet sniffing or rest. Purpose-built as a recreation zone for dogs, Hundeskoven Vråby has become a cherished meeting ground for locals and a pleasant discovery for travelers journeying with pets. Here, benches and picnic tables are thoughtfully placed so owners can relax while keeping a close eye on their four-legged adventurers. Many visitors appreciate the park’s natural character — streamlets cross the terrain, wildflowers bloom in spring, and the wind-carved trees provide shelter, making the park enjoyable year-round. There are bins and dog waste stations throughout, ensuring it remains a clean and inviting environment. Unlike many urban dog runs, Hundeskoven Vråby’s setting on Rømø, surrounded by the island’s unique coastal heath and woodland, gives it a peaceful ‘outdoor retreat’ ambiance. The dog park is free to enter and open year-round, allowing for spontaneous visits whether you’re staying on the island or arriving for a day trip. Its proximity to the beaches, broader nature reserves, and Havneby village’s shops and cafés makes it easy to integrate into a relaxing day exploring the island. While it remains relatively low-key compared to Denmark’s busier dog parks, Vraby’s authentic local feel and the chance to meet Danish and German holidaymakers stand out. Whether your dog loves a game of fetch among the trees or prefers gentle strolls on forest paths, Hundeskoven Vråby offers a safe and happy haven for everyone.
