Galgebakken

The area starts at the Gl. Rye Mølle & Træskomuseum (Mill and clog museum), leading to the heater-clad area around Galgebakken, which is 101 metres above sea level. A side path leads to the sheep grazing area on Musebakke, where there are good views over Mossø and the area around Sukkertoppen.
