Discover Bukkerup

Bukkerup combines distinctive landscapes with a multifaceted history. Forests, peat bogs, archaeological finds and a long cycling tour offer different ways to experience the area. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Bukkerup, you can choose your accommodation based on whether you mainly want to experience nature, follow historical traces or take an active day trip.

Forests and marshland as points of orientation

Bukkerup Kohave covers 90 ha and thus forms an important landscape area for exploring the surroundings. In addition, Bukkeruplund forest covers 13 ha. Bukkeruplund forest belongs to the Bukkeruplund farm. If you value nature and peaceful discoveries when planning your trip, you can make these two landscape features a thematic focus of your stay in Bukkerup.

The history of peat is also part of the character of the area. In 1806, Bukkerup was described as a place with one of the largest and best peat bogs in the district. Today, this aspect can be connected with the area’s other natural and historical themes without reducing Bukkerup to a single attraction.

Archaeological traces and local history

On 31 May 1943, several clay vessels were discovered in Bukkerup Langemose in connection with peat digging. In addition, the 50 individual finds from Bukkerup Langemose are considered more or less certain votive offerings that were made over a period of approximately 400 years. The finds place Bukkerup Langemose in its cultural and historical context and point to human activities in the past.

The development of Bukkerup also includes the year 1796: At that time, the area was reorganised into block fields. Those interested in landscape history will therefore find several chronological layers here – from the historical reorganisation of the fields and peat extraction to the archaeological discoveries in Bukkerup Langemose.

A cycling tour for an active day of travel

“Ud i landskabet” is a full-day cycling tour of approximately 55 km. The tour follows the Margueritruten towards Bukkerup and passes Søllested Church and the old vicarage. For travel planning, this route is particularly interesting if you would like to devote an entire day to cycling while also visiting cultural and historical points of interest along the way. You should take the approximate length into account when planning your day.

Another clearly dated detail concerns route 131: On 6 February 2026, a two-year weekend trial with evening and night buses began in Assens Municipality. Anyone who also wants to base their regional travel planning on such transport services should note the start date and the limited trial period.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

A holiday apartment in Bukkerup is a suitable search option if you want to combine nature, history and independent day planning. For a stay focused on forest and marshland, Bukkerup Kohave and Bukkeruplund can provide the thematic framework. If, on the other hand, you want to make the “Ud i landskabet” cycling tour the focus, you should include the length of approximately 55 km in your personal day plan. Travellers interested in cultural history can also take into account the finds from Bukkerup Langemose and the historical division of the fields in 1796.

For further options, you can also look at Holte, Aarup, Ebberup, Brydegård, Strandby, Sandager, Helnæs By and Assens.
