Skovmøllen is a historic watermill located in the Marselisborg Forests just south of Aarhus. It’s Denmark’s only working undershot watermill, where you can see traditional milling in action on select days. Next to the mill, Restaurant Skovmøllen serves a delicious Danish brunch using local ingredients.

In this beautiful church, I learned that not all Danish churches have a model of a traditional sailing ship in their interior, as I had previously assumed. What's particularly beautiful about this church, in addition to the successful combination of historical furnishings with new elements, such as the new mosaic glass panes, are the partially preserved frescoes on the side walls.

On a siding next to the service buildings at Odder Station, in front of some old freight cars, stands an old railbus from the days when the line wasn't yet electrified. Judging by the driver, the vehicle doesn't seem to be able to leave its parking space... 😉

I can't judge whether this bike shop is good or bad, since I was there outside of opening hours (see picture 2), and I was spared a major breakdown during this DK holiday... 😉

Definitely a nice way to pass the time if it actually rains, or if you've already had enough of the surroundings. Fortunately, neither of these was the case during my pre-season visit, as the facility hadn't opened yet for Easter. https://www.kystlandet.dk/kystlandet/planlaeg-turen/kuglen-og-keglen-together-gdk605215
