Stige Ø is located just north of the city of Odense. There is no public transport. You can get there by car or bike. The parking lot by the ice cream shop is the best starting point. The parking lot at Sortehusene is the best starting point if you want to go out to Stige Ø north. Press on a P on the map for directions to one of the parkings. During weekends and school holidays there can often be quite a lot of people out here, but you can still often find some quiet areas where you can watch birds.
