Mölle & Surrounds
The steep, picket fence-pretty village of
Mölle
is the area's main tourist centre. It also en-
joys a scandalous past. In the 19th century it was one of the first seaside resorts to encour-
age mixed bathing, much to the horror of the country…and to the delight of racy Berliners,
who flocked here on a direct rail link from the German capital.
A novel way of exploring the area around Mölle is on an
Icelandic horse
, one of the
world's gentlest, most smooth-gated equine breeds.
