Fausing Church

Fausing Church is in Fausing on Djursland, set in a valley with moraine hills to the east, south and west.

For travellers following the signed route, it is a very short detour and a straightforward stop in the local area.

It offers a clear example of a rural church stop close to the route, with the surrounding landscape doing most of the work. If you are driving through Djursland and want a brief pause rather than a longer visit, this is an easy place to add.

A short, worthwhile pause if you are already passing through Fausing or want a quick break from the road.
