In 2024, ‘The New Lake’ was recreated in Mols Bjerge, 105 metres above sea level, close to Agri and Agri Sø, which was previously known as Denmark's highest lake at 97 metres. The new lake, which has yet to be named, is around 1550 square metres in size and already attracts a rich flora and fauna.
Historically, Agri Bavnehøj has had great importance. In the old days, bonfires were lit on the hill to warn against enemies and later it was used as a centre for surveying. At the top you'll find a monument with an arrow pointing to significant points on the horizon, such as Aarhus Cathedral 21.8 kilometres away. At the foot of Agri Bavnehøj there is also a covered picnic area, ideal for a break after a day in the beautiful nature of Mols Bjerge.

In Glas - Museum of Glass Art you can experience the latest development in modern glass art with regard to contemporary works as well as to ground-breaking and new, interesting trends.
The Cosmic Space is a permanent installation. Here, you get to experience works by the Faroese painter and sculptor, Tróndur Patursson, who is an adventurer and an explorer, as well. Along with the British historian, Tim Severin, he was part of all of seven historical expeditions at sea.
In 1993, the aim of the expedition was to sail from China to the US on a bamboo raft. The journey lasted 106 days, and during that time, the men were isolated from the world and surrounded by incredible forces of nature.
Being far from everyone and everything and surrounded by the power of the sea inspired Tróndur Patursson to create The Cosmic Space at Glas - Museum of Glass, in which you get the sensation of stepping into a weightless room, the moment you set foot in the space.
In the beautiful garden you'll find the museum's glass workshop. Here you can experience the enchanting process from liquid glass to finished work as the museum's permanent glassblowers work to create beautiful products. Sometimes the workshop is the setting for collaborations and development projects with guest artists. During school holidays, there are often activities for the public.
Visit the Glass Shop and find the perfect gift among the country's largest selection of handmade glass, design and unique items created by Danish and international glass artists and designers.
Drop by the museum and take part in some of the many activities the museum has for the whole family.

Arriving at the end of the longest medieval road in Denmark, which was constructed at the same time as the castle Kalø Slotsruin, you can easily imagine the life that went on behind the castle walls.
The ruins of Kalø Castle are one of the most striking historical attractions on the Danish east coast. The ruins are beautifully situated on a peninsula in Kalø Bay and can be reached via a 1.5 km-long cobbled medieval road. Even on the way there, you can feel the breath of history and the unique landscape that characterises Mols Bjerge National Park.
The castle was built in the early 14th century by King Erik Menved and served as both a fortress and a symbol of power. Today, the ruins stand as an atmospheric testament to Denmark’s medieval past.

The landscape in National Park Mols Bjerge has been shaped by gigantic tongues of ice and tons of water over millions of years. Here, you will encounter a unique and diverse nature with high peaks, deep glacial pits, and rare sand lizards, and around 40 out of 200 conservation-worthy Danish nature types called habitat areas. Many of the Bronze Age mounds that are scattered throughout the landscape remain untouched by archaeologists, so we do not know what lies within them.
The entire area in and around National Park Mols Bjerge is steeped in culture. Take a trip to the historic ruins of Kalø Slot, Poskær Stenhus, the burial mounds at Tustrup, and especially Ebeltoft's small streets with their cobblestones and beautiful hollyhocks.
Because the national park encompasses so many different habitats, you will also find a range of rare insects, animals, and plants here. But you can also encounter quite ordinary cows, sheep, and horses in the area, which help to keep nature in check so it doesn't become a forest. For example, visit the bird tower at Stubbe Sø and experience the rich bird life here.
Visit Mols Bjerge National Park and embark on a journey of discovery of a very special nature that will undoubtedly make your holiday memorable.
