Local tips
- Book well in advance if visiting with a group of 15 or more, as the shelter operates on a reservation system to manage capacity and ensure availability.
- Arrive early in the day to maximize daylight hours for exploring Fodsporet's full length and discovering the fitness stations and playgrounds distributed along the route.
- Bring weather-appropriate gear even in mild seasons, as the open asphalt trail offers minimal natural shelter from wind and sun exposure.
- Use the Hyllinge parking area at the end of Hyllinge Stationsvej as your access point; it accommodates standard vehicles and horse trailers for equestrian visitors.
- Combine your shelter visit with exploration of nearby Hyllinge village to access shops, dining options, and cultural sites like the historic church.

A Historic Railway Transformed into Nature's Pathway
Shelterplads Hyllinge sits along Fodsporet, an exceptional 48-kilometer nature trail built on the foundation of a decommissioned railway line that once connected Slagelse, Næstved, and Skælskør across South Zealand. The transformation of this industrial heritage into a recreational corridor represents a thoughtful repurposing of Denmark's railway past, allowing visitors to experience the landscape through which trains once traveled. The shelter facility itself marks a significant waypoint on this historic route, offering respite and community gathering space for those journeying along the trail.Purpose-Built Shelter Infrastructure for Group Experiences
The shelter complex comprises four individual shelters designed to accommodate organized groups and outdoor enthusiasts. With capacity for approximately 24 participants, the facility requires a minimum group size of 15 people and operates on a booking system to ensure proper management and maintenance. The shelters provide essential protection from the elements while maintaining the outdoor experience, making them suitable for school groups, hiking clubs, family reunions, and community organizations seeking a structured yet nature-immersed gathering space.Gateway to Fodsporet's Diverse Attractions
Fodsporet itself is recognized as South Zealand's most family-friendly cycling route, featuring a smooth 2.5-meter-wide asphalt surface that accommodates cyclists, walkers, and families with children. The trail is entirely car-free, creating a safe environment for recreational use. Along the route, visitors encounter fitness stations, playgrounds, and additional shelters at regular intervals, transforming the journey into an interactive experience rather than a simple point-to-point transit. The Hyllinge shelter serves as both a destination and a launching point for exploring these distributed amenities.Immersion in South Zealand's Natural Character
The surrounding landscape reflects the distinctive character of South Zealand's westland region, encompassing the villages of Hyllinge, Marvede, Vallensved, and Ladby. The area combines forest zones with open agricultural fields, creating visual variety and ecological diversity. The proximity to Hyllinge village itself—with its historic church, community center, sports facilities, and local services—ensures that visitors can access amenities while remaining connected to the natural environment. This balance between accessibility and wilderness characterizes the entire Fodsporet experience.Seasonal Accessibility and Practical Considerations
The shelter facility operates year-round, though the experience varies significantly across seasons. Winter months present a stark, quiet landscape ideal for solitary reflection, while spring and summer bring vibrant vegetation and increased foot traffic. The asphalt surface remains passable in most weather conditions, though winter ice and summer heat present distinct challenges. The booking requirement ensures that groups can plan visits with confidence, knowing the facility will be available and properly maintained for their arrival.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
