In 1903, Klosterlund Tørveværk began its peat excavation and production. Until 1914, peat manufacturer Emil Ernst extracted millions of peat in the bog.
Martin Anchersen, who owned the land, established a dam across the valley in 1933, creating Skallerund Lake. That same year, Martin Anchersen set up a small museum in a newly built half-timbered house. Today, the museum belongs to Klosterlund Museum.
In 2019, Ikast-Brande Municipality renovated the path around the lake. Enjoy a walk in nature and take a rest on the bench by the small museum.
Skallerund Lake has developed from a peat bog to an idyllic forest lake.
There is a dog forest just on the other side of the road by Skallerund Lake.
