A beautiful spot to slow down and relax. The lake shore offers a large meadow where you can enjoy a nap and the tranquillity of nature. You can even catch some fish here.

Skovmøllen is a historic watermill located in the Marselisborg Forests just south of Aarhus. It’s Denmark’s only working undershot watermill, where you can see traditional milling in action on select days. Next to the mill, Restaurant Skovmøllen serves a delicious Danish brunch using local ingredients.
