Mols is a small Danish gathering of hilly in the southern part of the larger peninsula of Djursland on the east coast of Jutland. The largest peninsulas of Mols comprise Skødshoved to the west, and Helgenæs to the east.
Mols' largest town is Ebeltoft, a town on the coast, noted for its historical town centre. Some residents of Mols or Ebeltoft will argue that Ebeltoft is not a town of Mols. The usually accepted compromise is that Ebeltoft is the market town of Mols, although not geographically situated in present-day Mols.
Hills in Mols rise to 137 metres, high by Denmark standards. The highest points are Agri Bavnehøj (137 m), Trehøje (127 m) and Stabelhøjene (135 m & 133 m). In 2008 this hilly area, Mols Bjerge ( bjerge translates to "mountains"), was declared one of the first Danish national parks. It has unspoiled country, farms, rolling hills that descend to the sea, and very few large resorts.
People of Mols, called Molboer, are the subjects of Molbo story – ethnic stories told by the townsfolk of Aarhus and Ebeltoft to ridicule rural people. Beretning om de vidtbekiendte Molboers vise Gierninger og tapre Bedrifter, 2.
