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

The church is located in Handrup Bakker near Ebeltoft Vig. It was built after the residents of the area wanted a church in the western part of the municipality at the end of the 19th century. The church was consecrated in January 1902 and had 100 seats. The church's altarpiece today depicts Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. The painting is by Professor Kræsten Iversen and came to the church in 1972. It is a preliminary study for a glass mosaic in the Risskov Church. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/handrup-kirche-gdk606147

"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

The short half kilometer across the dam to the Kalø Castle ruins is also a journey into a past of over 700 years ago.

Unfortunately, there's no sign anywhere indicating that there's a shooting range diagonally across the parking lot. We were looking forward to a hike in a quiet nature reserve. The result was a dog that was already nervous, but was distraught, because they were shooting clay pigeons for several hours (the noise was inevitably loud, all the way to the castle and in the surrounding area). A real shame!

As you begin or conclude your hike around the Kalø area, you can enjoy this view of Kaløvig Castle from the Kalø Slotscafé. This delightful café offers you a perfect and easily accessible vantage point to soak in the iconic sight of the 700-year-old Kalø Castle Ruin. From your comfortable spot, you'll witness the majestic medieval fortress standing proudly on its small peninsula, connected to the mainland by Denmark's longest medieval paved road—all framed by the tranquil waters of Kalø Vig.
