Mols Bjerge National Park

Rolling glacial hills, heath, ancient woods and coves on Denmark's Djursland peninsula

The Mols Hills rise to 137 metres in a landscape shaped at the end of the last ice age, mixing heath, forest, pasture, bogs and coast. More than half of all wild Danish plant species grow here.
