Discover more about Møllehjulet

Nestled amidst the gently undulating hills of Ejer Bjerge, Møllehjulet Kiosk is an unexpectedly charming waypoint for anyone visiting Denmark’s little-known geographic crown: Møllehøj, the country’s highest natural point. Unlike dramatic European peaks, Møllehøj rises modestly from the surrounding farmland, but it holds a special place in the Danish imagination as a symbol of the landscape’s quiet beauty. The kiosk itself provides a convivial meeting spot for wanderers, cyclists, and families making the pilgrimage to the summit marker. Here, visitors can pause for local snacks, ice cream, or coffee, gaining sustenance before or after a stroll to the grassy knoll that marks the nation’s tiptop. Beyond the snacks on offer, Møllehjulet serves as an information outpost year-round (though opening hours are mainly weekends and holidays in low season). From this vantage, the views stretch across patchwork fields, forests, and wind turbines—a quintessentially Danish panorama. Informational boards nearby recount the quirky history of the ‘battle for Denmark’s roof’, as well as local legends and the surveying efforts that confirmed Møllehøj’s status in 2005, overtaking the neighboring Ejer Bavnehøj by just 51 centimeters. Many visitors are drawn further along walking routes connecting the two sites, with cairns and commemorative stones setting the pace. The kiosk, with its rustic charm and friendly service, anchors the experience, ensuring even modest summiteers can share in a time-honored Danish ritual—celebrating the landscape with a treat and friendly conversation. Though remote-feeling, its accessibility and unique context make it far more than an ordinary countryside stop: here, you’re at the very top of Denmark.
