Mølleåen, Small river in Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, Denmark.
Mølleåen is a small river in Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality that flows through multiple lakes and wetlands as it travels northward. The waterway winds through wooded areas, open fields, and residential zones, shaping the local landscape as it moves toward the coast.
Medieval dams built along the river tapped water power to fuel industrial growth across the region. These structures enabled numerous mills and factories to operate and prosper during that era.
The river passes near residential areas and parks where locals enjoy walks along its banks, especially in spring when the water flows most vibrantly.
A walking path of about 10 kilometers between Sorgenfri and Skodsborg provides good access to the river and its surroundings. Boat rentals are available at Holte Harbor if you wish to explore the water by boat.
The elevation drops noticeably from the source to the mouth, creating the natural conditions that once attracted mill builders throughout the region. This change in height remains a key feature that shaped settlement patterns along the river.
