Local tips
- Bring sturdy shoes—soft sand and uneven ground make the dunes harder to cross, especially after heavy rains.
- July and August are the best months for berry picking; look for blueberries and crowberries scattered across the landscape.
- Watch for ground-nesting birds in spring; keep to established paths to avoid disturbing local wildlife.
- There are no facilities on site—pack water, snacks, and sun/rain protection before arriving.
- Early morning and sunset offer the best light for photographs and a quieter experience.
Getting There
-
Walking
From the island’s main village area, reaching Spidsbjerg is an invigorating 20–30 minute walk, heading toward the island’s northwest dune landscape. Look out for the gentle rise of the dunes that stand apart from the nearby woodland, with the dunes themselves acting as your guidepost. The final approach is mostly along sandy and occasionally grassy trails. There are no admission fees, and access is open at all times. The terrain can be sandy or soft after rain, so wear suitable footwear.
-
Cycling
Bicycles are a popular way to reach Spidsbjerg from any central point on Rømø, especially with the island’s dedicated cycling paths. Expect a 10–20 minute ride through heath and pine groves, with several places to leave your bike near the edge of the dunes. There is no charge for bicycle parking.
-
Car
Drivers can approach Spidsbjerg via the island’s main road system. Informal parking is available at the woodland edge adjacent to the dunes—there’s no charge to park, but capacity is limited during summer weekends. No tolls or access charges apply.
-
Taxi
If you prefer a taxi from the main accommodation or ferry zone, expect a 5–10 minute journey across the island, with fares typically ranging from 80 to 130 DKK. You’ll be dropped near the woodland edge, a short stroll from the dunes themselves.
