One of highest natural places in Denmark. They have removed trees from some slopes to enable nice views towards Silkebork lakes.

Simple and easy trek. Signs are posted along the way, so zero chance of getting lost. Ry is the closest station with connecting inter-city metro/tram/bus. But the frequency is not so good, so plan your trek well. The view from the top of Himmel Mountain is beautiful.

Ejer Bavnehøj

Mentioned on 
Mountain peak
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
Ejer Bavnehøj is a mountain peak with a commemorative tower at the summit and a history as a warning beacon location. It offers breathtaking views of the beautiful surroundings and an opportunity for a walk in the area. Mollehoj, Denmark's highest natural point, is just about 500 meters away from Ejer Bavnehøj, making it worth visiting.
Ejer Bavnehøj is the third-highest natural point in Denmark (170.35 m). At its summit is a 13 m tall tower, built in 1924, commemorating the reunion of the south of Jutland with the rest of Denmark after the First World War. Historically Ejer Bavnehøj was mostly known as a site for a beacon where signal-fires were lit in order to warn the military and local population if the enemy were on the way. Entry tricket for the tower costs 10 DKK paid by MobilPay.

(Translated by Google) Nice view, nice area. Price to get up the tower per. Adult 5 kr. A cozy place, good place to have your coffee while enjoying the view (Original) Flot udsigt, lækkert område. Pris for at komme op i tårnet pr. Voksen 5 kr. Et hyggelig sted, god sted til at få sin kaffe, imens man nyder udsigten

Ejer Bavnehøj is really a visit worth. The best is thus Møllehøj Denmarks higest naturally point just ~ 500 meter walk over a field

Fantastic place
Leif Roenn — Google review
(Translated by Google) Cozy place for a small family trip. Fine ice Kiosk with coffee, ice cream etc. From the tower you have a fantastic view. But the most pleasant thing for us was the walk from Ejer Bavnehøj to Møllehøj. You have to walk across a field with cows grazing. It was fun for a bunch of "urban beans" to get close to the animals. (Original) Hyggeligt sted til en lille familie tur. Fin is Kiosk med kaffe, is osv. Fra tårnet har du en fantastisk udsigt. Men det mest hyggelige for os var gåturen fra Ejer Bavnehøj til Møllehøj. Du skal gå over en mark med køer på græs. Det var sjovt for en flok "bybønner" at komme tæt på dyrene.

Very interesting and scenic place. An old paper factory on the grounds of a monastery. Lot of info signs, bird watch tower and beautiful nature. When I was there it was around dusk and a bit foggy. I really thought of Loch Ness and a monster out there is the mystic waters.

Ricki Hogaard — Google review
The drying shed in Klostermølle is Denmark's longest wooden building. In the drying shed, you can still see how cardboard and paper have been hung to dry. A bird tower has been built at the north end of the 100 meter long drying barn with a view over Klosterkær and Mossø. There had been some flooding recently so the area was very wet.

Heel leuke locatie van oude papierfabriek met langste houten gebouw van Denemarken. Alleen jammer datcer zo weinig omheen georganiseerd is. Gebouwen waren ook niet toegankelijk. Is veel meer van te maken. Ook in combinatie met de omgeving. (Translated by Google) Very nice location of an old paper factory with the longest wooden building in Denmark. It's just a shame that so little is organized around it. Buildings were also inaccessible. Much more can be made of it. Also in combination with the environment.

Historical interesting place with ruins, real skeletons, medicinal and toxic herbs
Anders Jensen — Google review
For me as someone who is very curious about the history of the smaller unknown places this speck on the the map we found only as a ruin symbol on out travel map. This was a great surprise. They have had extensive excavations over the years. And many things they found have been preserved in a small museum building on site also the first hand evidence of runes still being used so late in the middle ages is an interesting thing to be able to witness. And the old herb garden (with some herbs that were actually the plants thet they found growing in the wild after so many hundred years!) Is a very cool fact. Overall the area is beautiful to visit and hike in anyway dont forget to visit the museum when you're here.

Quite interesting, even if it's only the outlines of the monastery left. The museum bit was brilliant and very informative

A ruin of a monetary. Only parts of the foundations remain. Skeletons and medical herbs on display. The guided tour is good but not all ways available.
