Vindmølleparken (Windmill Park)
Don Quixote chased windmills across the plains of La Mancha, and you can follow in his tracks by heading to this offbeat attraction. Five kilometers (3 miles) south of Ebeltoft, adjacent to the ferryboat terminal, 16 windmills sit on a curved spit of land open to gusts of wind from the Baltic to generate electricity for some 600 families. To see it, drive south of town, following the signs toward the hamlet of Øer, or the signs pointing to the ferryboat to Zealand. If you phone in advance, in some rare instances, a free 30-minute guided tour during open hours can be arranged by the city council.
