Bregnet Kirke is beautifully located overlooking Egens Vig. Some carved stones on the pedestal are likely the remains of a former Romanesque church. The inventory dates from a restoration in 1872, during which everything original was discarded except for the Romanesque baptismal font with a lion motif. Often, Romanesque stone churches replaced an older wooden church. This was of course also the case in Bregnet. Perhaps the first church was built as a pilgrimage church in connection with the holy "Tobias spring" in Ringelmoseskoven, east of the church. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/bregnet-kirche-gdk606023

The last few meters to the viewpoint must be walked; however, you can park your bike a few meters before the summit.
