As the largest lake on the Djursland peninsula, this idyllic body of water lies peacefully nestled in the forests and meadows of Mols Bjerge National Park. Nature lovers particularly appreciate this clear ice-pushed lake as an untouched bird paradise, which can be wonderfully observed from a hidden observation tower.

Despite its name, Mols Bjerge is not a mountain range but a landscape of rolling hills, forests, heathland and lakes shaped by the last Ice Age. The national park protects one of Denmark’s most varied natural areas and is known for its rich wildlife and diverse habitats.

Ebeltoft Church is first mentioned in 1458 and referred to as a chapel. However, during an archaeological investigation carried out in connection with the restoration in 1983, coins from the 13th century and foundation remains were found under the eastern part of the church, which show that it was built even before the town received its market town rights in 1301, there was a smaller church. Around the year 1500, the church was extended to the current nave with the addition of five vaults and the tower with crenellated gables. In the 16th century, the church had a women's door on the north and a men's door on the south. There was once a porch on the south side connected to the entrance. However, the porch was demolished at the end of the 18th century. In 2015, the church interior was restored, giving the church a different color scheme that makes the present-day church appear brighter, more harmonious and more striking. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/ebeltoft-kirche-gdk1078955

As you observe Skærsø Manor by the clear waters, you're looking at a place whose very name, "pure or clear lake," hints at its original setting on a headland within the lake itself, reflecting its deep connection to the surrounding landscape. Over the centuries, many prominent nobles called Skærsø home, notably, Sophia Amalia Benzon and her husband, the naval officer Andreas Rosenpalm, who took command from the famous Peter Wessel Tordenskjold in 1717. However, after his valiant command, his efforts sadly didn't secure his fame in the same way that Tordenskjold did, leaving Tordenskjold's (and not Rosenpalm's) portrait on Danish matchboxes to this day.
