Getting there

Walking

From the central hub near Rømø’s church or the main holiday parks, a leisurely walk toward the Lakolk area brings you through stretches of open heath and holiday cottages. As you approach the Lakolk Butikscenter, the bustling activity and array of shops are unmistakable. Café Hr. Dax is unmistakably located among these storefronts, positioned just beside the entrance plaza. Expect the walk to take approximately 25–45 minutes, depending on your starting point and pace.

By Car

Driving from any point on Rømø is straightforward thanks to well-marked signs leading to Lakolk. The Butikscenter features a sizable parking lot adjacent to the shops and café, with fees typically ranging between 10–20 DKK per hour during the main holiday season and limited free spaces in off-peak times. Parking can get tight at midday or in peak summer months.

Taxi

A short taxi ride from the island’s central accommodations, such as those near Havneby or Toftum, brings you to Lakolk Butikscenter in roughly 10–15 minutes. Typical fares for this segment are in the range of 120–180 DKK, depending on distance and time of year. Taxis usually drop passengers at the doorstep of the shopping center.

Public Transport

Local bus services link Rømø’s main settlements with Lakolk, with stops directly at or very near the Butikscenter. Expect ride times of about 15–25 minutes from the center of the island, with a typical fare of 22–28 DKK one way. Schedules may be less frequent in winter, and buses are conveniently timed for both day-trippers and beachgoers.
