  Grenaa Church

  10.09 km

  The church dates from the 13th century and has since been expanded and renovated several times.

  The oldest masonry remains from the original church, date back to when the town itself was founded. It is not known what the church looked like at the time, but the church has obviously been of great importance based on its central location in the city centre.

  In 1649, the church was destroyed by a fire inside the church. What you see now is a vaulted church room built in the 1650s.

  Grenaa Kirke is consecrated to St. Gertrude, the patron saint of travelers (also of cats).

  The church is built of monk stone and granite squares. A renovation has given the church its distinctive crenellated spire (the 1870s).

  The oldest altarpiece is originally from Holmen's Kirke in Copenhagen. It was bought the city's residents and was thus saved from the fires and bombings that came to ravage Copenhagen. The church was newly restored in 2001.

  Natural area Kolindsund

  13.6 km

  Originally, Kolindsund was a large tunnel valley. Later, it became a sound that connected Grenaa to Randers. Even later, it turned into a lake. However, after Denmark lost Southern Jutland in 1864, the need for arable land became more pressing, and Kolindsund was drained.

  A walk on the old lakebed

  Today, artificial dikes and pumps ensure that the old lakebed remains dry. The pumped water flows into the straight North Channel, while the more natural drainage water flows through the much smaller but more winding South Channel. The area is rich in wildlife and a good fishing area for sea trout, pike, perch, roach, and bream.

  Kolindsund runs from Grenaa to Kolind, providing many opportunities to explore the area. In Kolind, for example, you can park at Drasbeksgade, and in Grenaa, there is parking behind the Netto supermarket near the train station.

  Fishing licenses for Kolindsund can be purchased at Kolind Boghandel (Kolind Bookstore).
