Møllehøj (Danish: [ˈmøləˌhʌjˀ]) is the highest natural point in Denmark at 170.86 m (560.6 ft).[Note 1]
Geography
Møllehøj is in the Ejerbjerge hills in Skanderborg municipality, very close to Ejer Bavnehøj. The summit is marked with a millstone, a remnant of Ejer mill which was situated on the hill from 1838 to 1917. The mill had eight sides and had an onion-shaped roof.
New measurements made in February 2005 showed that Møllehøj was higher than both Yding Skovhøj (172.66 m including a Bronze Age burial mound on its summit, 170.77 m without) in Horsens municipality and Ejer Bavnehøj, which had both been thought higher. These two high points' natural heights are, however, respectively 9 and 51 cm lower than Møllehøj. It was officially recognised as Denmark's highest point in 2005.
The place is located on private land next to a farm, but it has been made open for public visits. Parking should be made at Ejer Bavnehøj, 300 meters away.
