Midtdjurs

Midtdjurs is a former municipality located on the Djursland peninsula in Denmark. It existed from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2006, as a result of the Danish Municipal Reform. Prior to this, it was formed by the merger of the municipalities of Ebeltoft, Grenaa, and Nørre Djurs. In 2007, Midtdjurs was incorporated into the new, larger Syddjurs Municipality.

The area encompassed by Midtdjurs was known for its diverse landscape, featuring agricultural land, coastal areas, forests, and the Mols Bjerge National Park. Key towns within the former municipality included Grenaa, which served as its administrative center and largest town, and Ebeltoft, a charming historic town with a significant tourist presence. The region's economy was traditionally based on agriculture and fishing, but tourism also played an increasingly important role, attracting visitors to its beaches, natural attractions, and cultural sites.

The administrative and political functions of Midtdjurs were consolidated following the municipal reform. The merger aimed to create more efficient and larger municipalities capable of handling broader responsibilities in areas such as social services, education, and infrastructure. After its dissolution, the responsibilities and assets of Midtdjurs were transferred to Syddjurs Municipality. The geographical area that once constituted Midtdjurs now forms a significant part of Syddjurs, contributing to its population, economic base, and natural heritage.
