Geography

Шаблон:Seealso Ejer Bavnehøj lies in the southern part of Skanderborg municipality, between the villages of Riis and Ejer. At its summit is a Шаблон:Cvt tall tower, built in 1924, commemorating the reunion of the south of Jutland with the rest of Denmark after the First World War.

Close to Ejer Bavnehøj lies Yding Skovhøj, another high point, with a height of Шаблон:Cvt above sea level but this includes a human built Bronze Age burial mound.

The tower of Ejer Bavnehøj

Historically Ejer Bavnehøj was mostly known as a site for a beacon where signal-fires were lit in order to warn the military and local population if the enemy were on the way.[1] The second part of the name, "Bavnehøj", can literally be translated into "Beacon Hill" (Шаблон:Lang meaning "beacon" and Шаблон:Lang, from the Old Norse word haugr, meaning hill).
