Bølling lake, Natural lake in central Jutland, Denmark.
Located between Kragelund and Engesvang, Bølling Lake spans 360 hectares of shallow waters at the edge of the Pleistocene glacier formation.
The lake underwent drainage in the 1870s for peat extraction, leading to the establishment of 50 factories that operated until the last one closed in 1970.
The Klosterlund Museum near the lake presents exhibits about the local peat industry and its effects on the surrounding communities through different periods.
Visitors can access a 12-kilometer trail around the lake for hiking and cycling, with a parking area available at Kragelundsvej approximately 4.4 kilometers away.
The discovery of the Tollund Man in 1950 by peat diggers near Bølling Lake revealed an exceptionally preserved body from ancient times.
