Hjortholm
On the Hjortholm peninsula, which is partially flooded, a kitchen midden was discovered with remnants of shells. In the Stone Age (c. 4500 BC), there was a settlement here for hunters in the Ertebølle culture.
The water in the cove is extremely shallow on the west side of Hjortholm, while on the north-east side, it is very deep. From the sand meadows west of Hjortholm, you can walk along the beach/cove over to Hjortsholm.
