Villas in Knebel

About Knebel

Knebel is a village of about 620 people on Djursland, in the Mols area, with Knebel Vig lying directly west and the Mols Bjerge hills rising to the east. It has a school, a kindergarten, doctors and some shops, a Romanesque church from around 1175, and a small harbour, Knebel Bro, about 1 km to the south-east. The Poskær Stenhus, a dolmen from about 3,300 BC, is about 1 km east. Our houses are scattered over several kilometres across the Mols area rather than concentrated in the village, mostly with three bedrooms, most with a fireplace and some with a sauna. The national park, set up in 2009, covers 180 km2 of land rising to 137 metres, and walkers there meet ordinary cows, sheep and horses.

When to go to Knebel

Summer is when the area fills: Ebeltoft's population soars in June, July and August, and the town is known for child-friendly beaches. Mols Bjerge is free to enter, with marked routes and guided nature tours. Ryanair's Stansted flight to Aarhus is not marked seasonal, so a stay outside summer is possible, with the fireplace most of our houses have.
