Stige Island - Hiking Huts by the Sea

Shelter accommodation by Odense Fjord

The three shelters are positioned in a row on the edge of the woodland, close to the fjord. You stay just a few metres from the water, with wide views across Odense Fjord. There is a shared fire pit by the shelters for cooking and spending time together.

The shelters have wooden floors, so remember to bring a sleeping bag and sleeping mat.

Facilities at the shelter site

Drinking water is available near the shelters, and there is also a toilet in the area. The toilet facilities are seasonal and may be closed during the winter months.

Practical information before your stay

The shelter site can be booked in advance, and guests with a reservation have priority. It is about a 15-minute walk from the parking area to the shelters, which is worth bearing in mind if you are carrying a lot of gear.

Tents are not permitted on Stige Ø because gas may seep up from the ground. Open, well-ventilated bivouacs are permitted.

From landfill to outdoor recreation area

Stige Ø has an unusual history. The area is man-made and was used as a landfill for many years until it closed in 1994. Since then, Stige Ø has been transformed into a large outdoor recreation area with trails, viewpoints and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities by Odense Fjord.
