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.
