Getting There

  • Driving

    From the heart of Odense, travelers heading north through Funen’s scenic rural interior will reach the outskirts of Kerteminde, known for its harbor and beaches. Continuing into the peaceful, agricultural landscapes beyond, roadside signs mark the route as you move through hamlets and fields. As you approach the tip of the peninsula, you’ll notice the landscape become more windswept and open, with the sea coming into view. Free parking is available at the official lot near the preserve entrance, though it may fill up on sunny weekends. No tolls or special fees apply.

  • Public Transport

    From Odense’s main bus terminal, regional buses provide service toward the coastal settlements north of Kerteminde. The journey offers picturesque views of the island’s patchwork fields and villages. Buses typically run a few times daily (expect infrequent service on weekends). The closest stop is in Martofte; from there, it is a scenic walk of about 45–60 minutes along country paths and through sparse woodland to reach the entry point of Fyns Hoved. Standard adult bus tickets from Odense cost approximately 64–84 DKK one way.

  • Taxi

    A taxi from central Odense provides the quickest and most flexible option, taking around 45–60 minutes, depending on traffic and season. The route follows major roads north before visitors are dropped at the preserve’s main parking area, adjacent to the headland. Fares generally range from 700–900 DKK each way.

  • Cycling

    Adventurous cyclists can follow marked routes from Kerteminde northward, passing through rolling countryside, seaside views, and small farms. The final stretch onto the headland is particularly atmospheric, with open skies and sea breezes as your constant companions. The roundtrip from Kerteminde is approximately 50 km and requires intermediate cycling ability. Dedicated racks are available near the nature preserve entrance; visiting by bike is free, but come well-prepared for changing weather.

Jutting out at the very northern edge of Funen, Fyns Hoved is a spectacular natural headland shaped by the forces of ice, wind, and sea over thousands of years. This wild and exposed peninsula offers some of Denmark’s most striking coastal scenery, with open meadows, rolling heath, rugged cliffs, and the vast surround of the Baltic Sea on nearly all sides. The landscape here is both delicate and dramatic, shaped by shifting sands and the legacy of ancient glaciers, with flora that shifts with the seasons—wildflowers in spring and summer, turning to warm rusts and golds in autumn. Fyns Hoved is especially beloved by birdwatchers and walkers. The peninsula attracts migratory birds in great numbers, and you’ll often see flocks of geese, swans, and waders on the wetlands, along with rare songbirds taking shelter in the low scrub. Walking trails wind through varied habitats, leading visitors to panoramic lookout points where the views stretch to the neighboring islands of Samsø and Æbelø. At the tip, you’ll find rocky outcrops ideal for a quiet picnic or simply sitting to watch the ever-changing light and weather. Human history here goes back centuries, as fishers and farmers once relied on its strategic waters, and subtle traces of ancient settlements can be found if you explore carefully. Today, it’s a haven for those seeking a deep connection to the wild, elemental side of Denmark—perfect for hikers, cyclists, families, amateur botanists, and anyone with an eye for dramatic vistas and birdlife. The area is protected, so expect a raw, untamed feeling—there are few visitor facilities, but plenty of peace, sky, and wind.
