Idyllic holiday gem with room for 8 people and 2 animals - with whirlpool and panoramic views of nature

We hope you enjoy your stay in our lovely holiday home.

In the living room, there are bi­no­cu­lars that we use frequent­ly to watch geese, small birds and herons. The garden is com­ple­te­ly secluded from neig­h­bours. In the evening, it can get com­ple­te­ly dark, so you can enjoy the stars. The grocery store in Tirstrup is 4 km away, and it is not far to all of Djursland's at­tra­ctions, such as Djurs Som­mer­land, Ree Park, Skan­di­na­visk Dyrepark, Munkholm Zoo (espe­ci­al­ly good for small children), Ebeltoft with its cobb­le­sto­ne streets, cosy shops and re­stau­rants, the frigate Jylland, and Glas. In Ebeltoft, we love to drink coffee by the old fishing harbour

Here are some sug­ge­stions for things to do in the area:

Ørnbjerg Mølle: is an old watermill. The mill has a long history and is known for its natural beauty and peaceful at­mosp­he­re. The old watermill was pre­vious­ly used to grind grain and played an important role in the local community.

Stubbe Lake with bird sanctuary: Stubbe Lake is the largest lake on Djursland and is located to the north.

The lake is a large but shallow lake of just under 4 km² (376 ha) with a depth of between 3 and 4 metres. Stubbe Lake was ori­gi­nal­ly the end of a fjord that ran from the Kattegat slightly north of Dråby Strand and into the co­un­trysi­de. Today, the lake is sur­ro­un­ded by forest and nutrient-poor sandy soil, which makes the water clear and clean.

The Bird Pro­tection Fund owns a 23.5-hectare bird sanctuary located on the north side of Stubbe Lake. There is a view of part of the lake from the shore of the sanctuary. You can also get a very good view of most of the lake from a bird tower built by the Danish Nature Agency at the eastern end of the lake.
