Nestled within the undulating landscape of Mols Bjerge National Park, P-plads Tinghulen is more than a simple parking area—it’s the starting line for one of Denmark’s most captivating hiking adventures. Surrounded by vibrant heathland, scattered glacial boulders, and sweeping valleys, this spot offers immediate access to a tapestry of trails renowned for their scenery and sense of wilderness. The parking area itself is conveniently situated close to some of the park’s highest elevations, including the celebrated 'Tinghulen' and the Mols Bjerge summit at 109 meters, which delivers breathtaking views across the Djursland peninsula and out to the calm waters of the Kattegat Sea. Rich with ancient history, these hills were shaped by the Ice Age and have witnessed centuries of human activity, from prehistoric settlements to medieval gatherings on the 'thing' mound that gives this area its name. Visitors departing from Tinghulen can experience the unique biodiversity of the park—rare butterflies, heather in bloom, lone junipers, and the occasional grazing herd of Danish cattle integrated into landscape conservation. Interpretive signs, periodically found along the trails, tell the story of this ancient terrain, as well as its flora and fauna. Despite its natural grandeur, P-plads Tinghulen remains tranquil for much of the year. On summer weekends, it’s a hive of hikers, cyclists, family picnicers, and photographers hoping to capture the play of light across Denmark’s iconic hills. Outside peak times, the sense of serenity is complete; you may find yourself alone on the trails, immersed in birdsong and wind. With no entry fees and well-maintained access, Tinghulen is both an easy and inspiring jump-off for a full-day adventure or a brief wander to the area’s signature vistas.
