Access

Parking is available at the cottage which is located at the end of the road. Cycling is possible if you are in the area and there are summer cottages nearby. However, the road from the last curve is not maintained during winter or early spring, and should not be driven by car before it has dried up. Please note that it is a nature reserve and therefore it is not allowed to enter with a quad bike or scooter in the area! With large amounts of snow in the spring, it is possible to either ski, or walk with snowshoes, on the forest road, the approximately 1.2 km long last stretch to the cape.
