About Malling
Malling is a railway town of a little over 6,000 people, grown almost into neighbouring Beder so that the pair are often called Beder-Malling. Hills, farmland, woods and meadows surround it. Its main sight is Malling Church, a fortified medieval church where sections of the old walls can still be seen, one of four known in East Jutland. The railway arrived in 1884, and Malling Kro, established that year, still serves dinner on Stationspladsen with the light rail right outside. The homes are outside the village, and most sleep four. Evenings mean the inn or the tram into Aarhus.
