Mols Bjerge is the hilly area on the west side of the Ebeltoft Bay. The word bjerge means mountains or hills, although people from northern Scandinavia would laugh at the name if they came here. The highest point in Denmark, Yding Skovhøj, in central Jutland, is 173 m (550 feet) above sea level. Mols Bjerge is not far behind at 137 m (430 feet) and the landscape and surrounding area with sea views make it more impressive. It was during the last Ice Age that these narrow ravines and deep valleys were formed. Man has used the fertile soil of Mols Bjerge for agriculture ever since the Stone Age. Evidence of this era can be seen in several places with stripes of high-backed fields created by wheel ploughs in the Middle Ages. The farmland has since been replaced by fields of heather and deciduous forests.
