January 3, 2025, Møgelhøj Shelters

Next to the shelters there are places for campfires, barbecues, etc. You can't stand upright in the huts, but they seem perfect for slipping in and lying in. Closed to the west and open to the fire and mountain. Looks like someone really put a lot of thought and effort into it!

Great pitstop in the summer, with a small kiosk that sells soda, icecream and snacks as well as nice restrooms where you can also refill your bidons

Although it is not the highest point in Denmark, it was crowned by the Danes with an imposing viewing platform. The panoramic view is great and as a reward for the ascent there is also a kiosk that offers tonics.

With the burial mound at the top, it is the highest mountain in Denmark. Without the burial mound it is only enough for second place. Regardless of this rating, the climb is considerable by Danish standards and is rewarded with a wide panoramic view. The highest (Møllehøj) and third highest mountain (Ejer Bavnehøj) are located nearby.

Great facility and imposing building. Every few minutes a lovely melody is played near the tower. You could enjoy the view for free. Overall, the area is really nice.

The most beautiful of the three peaks on the small circular route. There are benches at the top and you have - at least in one direction - a nice view over the area. There are shelters for overnight stays right next to the summit.
