Sletterhage Lighthouse sits scenically on the southern tip of the Djursland peninsula that stretches out into the Kattegat between Denmark and Sweden at the entrance to the Baltic Sea. The concrete lighthouse was built in 1894 to help guide ships to and from the Port of Aarhus, via a shipping lane that passes close to the lighthouse. The hills, coastline, and sea by the lighthouse has many photogenic opportunities. Close to the lighthouse is Tyskertårnet, the German Tower, a watch point built during WW2 for surveillance of the Kattegat in occupied Denmark. A hill up from the lighthouse, Ellemandsbjerg, 99 meters above sea level is a view point. From here one can see southern Djursland, the Mols Hills, and the eastern coast of Jutland, plus the islands, Tunø, Samsø and Hjelm, as well as the Ebeltoft-peninsula. On a clear day one can also see Denmark's largest island, Zealand to the south-east. (Knebel, Denmark)
