Djursland’s Biggest Nature Experiences

Mols Bjerge National Park in Denmark offers a fantastic and varied nature consisting of a large part of the Danish nature types, but also some of Denmark's rarest nature. Mols Bjerge is located on Djursland and its hallmark is the extraordinary Ice Age landscape, where humans have lived for millennia.

Explore Denmark's oldest medieval paved road on your way to the stunning Kalø Castle Ruins of the 700-year-old fortress, nestled on the charming Kalø peninsula. Follow in the footsteps of ancient travelers as you walk along this historic path, taking in the breathtaking scenery and immersing yourself in the rich history of the area.

The nature area at Sletterhage Lighthouse on Helgenæs offers magnificent views, unique coastal landscape and rich wildlife close to the Kattegat.

Karlby and Sangstrup Klinter is a fantastic excursion spot for the entire family. Here, you can take in the view of the spectacular cliffs and gather unique fossils at the same time.

In the heart of Djursland, you will find Kolindsund, which was the largest lake in Jutland until 1874. Today the canals of Kolindsund run from Kolind to Grenaa, and the surrounding area is characterised by great natural beauty and rich birdlife.

Jernhatten, which is a part of the National Park Mols Bjerge, is 49 m high. Here is a lovely view over the sea towards the island Hjelm.

If you enjoy a walk in the forest, you do not want to miss the Kaloe forests. At Kalø castle ruin you will find both Hestehave forest and Ringelmose forest. The forests offer plenty of sights such as a nearly 5000-year-old bronze-age stone circle, Baron Wilhelms Beech, the tallest tree in Hestehave forest, and many other monuments.

The protected area with reconstructed dolmens, passage grave and culthouse in Djursland is from the Neolithic age. The groundplan of the burned and collapsed treetemple, where the inhabitants from Tustrup worshipped their ancestors, has been restored by means of the stones lying on the ground.

The three Bronze Age mounds of Trehøje, 127 metres above sea level, offer a panorama view from Aarhus to Ebeltoft, including four inlets: Kalø, Begtrup, Knebel, and Ebeltoft.
