Mossø, Natural freshwater lake in eastern Jutland, Denmark
Mossø is a large freshwater lake in eastern Jutland, stretching across a significant area and connected by rivers to other lakes in the region. The water is deep enough for paddling in many places and features varied shorelines with different landscapes.
Medieval monasteries and religious communities once stood on the western shores, shaping the area's past. These places have disappeared over time but left their mark on the region's story.
The lake draws people interested in watching birds and enjoying nature, especially those hoping to spot the white-tailed eagles that now live here. Fishing and quiet observation are the main ways visitors connect with the water.
The lake is easily reached by car and has several access points along the shore for visitors. You can walk or cycle around the perimeter, making most areas accessible regardless of your fitness level.
After being absent for decades, white-tailed eagles have returned and now breed successfully at this lake. This comeback is notable in Danish nature history and shows how much conditions have improved.
