Rougsø is a peninsula located in East Jutland, Denmark. It juts out into the Kattegat sea and is bordered by the Mariager Fjord to the north and the Randers Fjord to the south. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills, agricultural land, and coastal areas with forests and small villages.

Historically, the area has been inhabited for centuries, with evidence of settlements dating back to prehistoric times. The region's geography has always made it important for fishing and agriculture. Over time, small fishing villages and market towns developed along the coast and fjords.

Today, tourism also plays a significant role, with visitors drawn to the natural beauty, coastal paths, and opportunities for outdoor activities such as sailing, kayaking, and hiking. The peninsula is dotted with charming villages that offer local amenities and a glimpse into traditional Danish rural life.

Notable features of Rougsø include its varied coastline, which includes sandy beaches and steeper cliffs. The area is also known for its birdlife and the surrounding waters are popular for recreational fishing.
