Mols Bjerge is a national park located in Syddjurs Municipality featuring rolling hills, forests, and coastal beaches along the Kattegat sea. The terrain was shaped by glacial activity and includes several inlets and lakes with the highest points reaching around 137 meters.
The park was officially opened as Denmark's second national park in 2009 after its designation was announced in 2008. The area has been inhabited since the Stone Age and shows traces of continuous human presence over millennia.
The park contains numerous archaeological sites such as Stone Age dolmens and Bronze Age burial mounds scattered across the land. These ancient remains tell the story of people who inhabited this area thousands of years ago.
Visitors can explore the area through marked hiking trails and bike paths, with parking areas located at various entry points. The visitor center at Strandkær provides information about the park's natural and cultural features.
The protected area is home to more than half of Denmark's wild plant species and is designated as a Natura 2000 site. This recognition highlights its importance for preserving rare ecosystems across Europe.
