This stony coast starts at The Cliffs of Gjerrild to the north on Djursland, and ends 50 km to the south on Mols at the southern tip of the peninsula.

Katholm Skov is a fairly secluded wood, along Glatved beach on the central eastern coast of Djursland.

Mostly for locals familiar with the geography, there is one other accessway, making it possible to get to the northern part of Glatved Beach, via the village, Ålsrode, and the road, Skovlystvej.

The southern part of Glatved Beach is dominated by a man made plain, originating from limestone extraction going back at least 150 years.

[1] The plain consists of now fairly levelled out heaps of stones, that up until the fifties where dumped from rail-wagons coming from an industrial lime kiln at the southern end of the beach, after the lime-stones had been sorted out.

In the sea out from Glatved Beach, are the remains of a 65-million-year-old cold water coral reef, consisting of a limestone formation with layers of flint.
