The car park is the starting point for hikes in the beautiful nature of Houens Odde.

In 1947 the KFUM scouts bought the outermost part of Houens Odde for the modest sum of DKK 30,000 (approx. €4,000). Since then, the scouts have bought land on the Houens Odde several times. It was not until 1999 that the scouts bought the last part and have owned the entire Houens Odde ever since.

Initially, local scouts used the place for trips in harmony with nature. Here the young scouts could frolic in "undiscovered" country. After many difficulties, Gilwellhytten, the site's first permanent building, was dedicated in 1953. The construction of the hut could only be realized by the many volunteers. Since then, other buildings have been added, and today Houens Odde consists of inspiring meeting rooms, primitive huts, cozy dining rooms and inviting facilities for accommodation and conferences.

Although Houens Odde is privately owned, there is public access on foot.

By far the largest part of Houens Odde appears as untouched nature. A visit to Houens Odde and hiking on the many hiking trails is always worthwhile.
