Bukkerup between Langemose, forest and cycling route

Bukkerup Langemose

If you would like to get to know Bukkerup through its landscape history, an important point of reference is Bukkerup Langemose. There, several clay vessels were discovered on 31 May 1943 in connection with peat digging. In addition, 50 individual finds from Bukkerup Langemose are regarded as more or less certain sacrificial offerings made over a period of approximately 400 years. For your travel planning, this creates a historical focal point that encompasses both a precisely dated event and a far longer period of time. Alongside nature, Langemose therefore represents not only the landscape but also traces of human activity across many generations.

Bukkerup and the changing fields

The history of Bukkerup also includes the redivision into block fields in 1796. In 1806, Bukkerup was considered a place with one of the largest and best peat bogs in the district. The development from field division to the peat-bog connection gives the village historical depth. This provides you with a way of approaching Bukkerup that considers cultural history and landscape together. Both topics can be explored separately when learning about Bukkerup, without losing sight of the connection between settlement history and landscape history.

Bukkerup Kohave and Bukkeruplund

The natural side becomes tangible through two landscapes of different sizes. Bukkerup Kohave covers 90 ha, while the Bukkeruplund forest covers 13 ha. Bukkeruplund belongs to Bukkeruplund Farm. At 90 ha, Kohave is considerably larger than the 13 ha forest; at the same time, both names remain distinguishable as independent landscape references. If you pay attention to nature and landscape when choosing your destination, these clear references to size and location can help you organize your priorities for Bukkerup. Alongside the historic Langemose, there are therefore two further natural areas that differ in extent and affiliation.

“Ud i landskabet” towards Bukkerup

There is also a clear option for an active day of travel. “Ud i landskabet” is a full-day cycling tour of approximately 55 km. The cycling tour follows the Marguerite Route towards Bukkerup and passes Søllested Church and the old vicarage. For you, this is a different way of approaching the village than exploring Langemose and the history of the fields: the route combines an active day of travel with cultural points of interest. If you enjoy combining cultural and landscape impressions with a longer cycling tour, this route can be a focus of its own in your travel planning.

Route 131 in Assens Municipality

Another planning aspect concerns regional mobility. On Route 131, a two-year weekend trial with evening and night buses began in Assens Municipality on 6 February 2026. If you are looking for a hotel for your trip to Bukkerup, you can consider such regional transport topics alongside the character of the village.
