Ebeltoft is a city in Djursland.
Ebeltoft city, the "Piece de Resistance" of Djursland, Jylland,Denmark restored 1860 Battle Frigate "Jylland" a world class maritime showpiece.
This 675 year old city was not always a touristic destination, except for a few hundred people who came from Copenhagen and Aarhus in the summer season, staying in cottages along the coast. They found the quaint ways of the "Molbo's", danish equivalent of Newfies , and the half-timbered houses embellished by hollyhock roses along cobblestoned streets, to their liking. Indeed, it's within living memory that a Town crier went around bellowing the news of the day. Now people come from afar to see the frigate and the tiny perfect city hall from 1789, now a museum complete with the original dungeon, reached through a trap door in the floor of the reception hall.
Ebeltoft is not only seeped in history, but now is the location of The European School of Film which opened a few years ago and housed in the hills just behind town. Unique restaurants abound in town, as well outside, in the hills of "Molboland".
