In the mines, the multimedia show plays by the pits' largest lake. The show is shown every half hour and tells the story of the limestone and the pits.
Experiences above ground

Take a nice walk in the old limestone quarry. The trip is approx. 1 km long. On the trip you can experience the special nature in the area and see the beautiful view of the lake at the bottom of the limestone quarry.
Quench your hunger and quench your thirst in the cosy Café Kridthuset after your trip around the lime pits.
Next to the café is the bat playground, where the children can climb and play on the 5 bat species that overwinter in the lime pits.
