There is plenty to discover on a trip to Ejby: the aquatic and birdlife of Ejby Mose, the medieval Ejby Church and traces of local milling history. If you would like to include both nature and culture in your plans, you’ll find specific ideas here to help you choose excursions and accommodation.
Ejby Mose: Water and Birdlife
Ejby Mose formed as a larger lake area gradually silted up. After the Ejby Kildeplads water extraction site in Ejby Mose closed in 2017, the water level there rose. This particularly benefited the birdlife. The area’s formation is linked to a later change in its water levels.
The boardwalk in Ejby Mose is 250 m long. At the end, a platform on the lake has two benches and a view. This gives your outing a specific destination, rather than treating the landscape as a whole as the only point of interest.
The approximately 700 m-long footpath to the boardwalk starts to the right of the KFUM Scout site at Præstemarksvej 16, 4623 Lille Skensved. If the path is not muddy, the boardwalk can be reached with an all-terrain wheelchair. This condition is important when planning: accessibility here depends on the state of the path.
Ejby Church and Its Building History
Ejby Church is a medieval church with a Romanesque nave dating from around 1150 to 1200 and a later Gothic extension to the east. It was built from greensand quarried at Lellinge.
The furnishings also include works from different centuries. The baptismal font dates from around 1300 and is made of Gotland limestone, engraved with figures of apostles and saints. The altarpiece was painted in 1596 and is designed in the baldachin style with panels featuring catechisms. Tympana on the south and north walls depict Christ as the Judge of the World and a lindworm, respectively. The lindworm relief in Ejby Church is considered unique in Zealand’s Romanesque stone sculpture.
Mill Traces and Things to Do
At Ellens Plads, the millstone from Ejby Mill serves as a tabletop beside a bench. The square is named after Møller-Ellen, who, together with her husband Møller-Jens, was among the mill’s last owners at Dalbyvej 71.
Ejby Church also features on a range of outings. The “Køge Ås turen” cycling route passes the church, among other places. A pilgrimage walk between Ejby Church and Bjæverskov Church also took place again in 2026, followed by lunch in the parish hall in Bjæverskov. The walk was open to anyone who wanted to walk together. Check the dates before planning a future walk; it is not necessarily held at regular intervals.
