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.

The Ørnbjerg Mølle is the only fully functioning watermill still in Denmark. It is located nestled in a forest area southeast of Feldballe on the Ulstrup Å river in the idyllic Mols Bjerge National Park on the Djursland peninsula. The roots of the mill date back to the mid-16th century. The current thatched building dates from 1833 and is a protected monument. The site now functions as a museum mill. A freely accessible plank exhibition in the old pigsty (Svinehuset) documents the historical life and work at the mill. A dedicated association of volunteers (Ørnbjerg Møllelaug) maintains the mill. On special occasions (such as the annual Mill Day), the large water wheel is put into operation to grind grain. The surroundings offer picnic areas, two shelter sites for free overnight stays, and two camping sites. Hiking trails start from here, including a beautiful path to the nearby Stubbe Sø. https://www.visitaarhus.dk/aarhusregionen/planlaeg-ferien/oernbjerg-moelle-gdk605940

The Feldballe Church and its surroundings have a long and fascinating history, reflecting the unique character of the place. A few years ago, a 13th-century brick kiln was excavated near Langesø in the parish of Feldballe. The brick remains were compared with the monks' stones in Feldballe Church, and clay samples from an area known as "Red Graves" proved that the stones of Feldballe Church were fired and shaped both in the parish and from the parish's raw materials. The clay pits and the brick kiln also supplied monks' stones for Møllerup, which was built by Margrave Stig Andersen. As the builder of the church, he must have built the nave and the choir before he was outlawed in 1286 after the murder of King Erik Klipping in Finderup Lade. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/feldballe-kirche-gdk606148

"Mols Cathedral" The first Dråby Church was built of monk stone and stood between 1200 and 1400. Masonry and old foundations were found during the restoration of the church between 1967 and 1971. From the beginning of the 14th century and over the following 150 years, the owners of the nearby estate, as well as the noble families Rosenkrantz and Gøye, created more or less the church we see today with major renovations and extensions. In 1720, the church interior was furnished with new furniture in the Baroque style. The crenellated stilt tower was built around the year 1730. On the west side of the tower are the year 1739 and the initials S A B and A R for Sophia Amalia Benzon and her husband Andreas Rosenpalm. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/draby-kirche-gdk1078953

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
