Tørskind Gravel Pit, Sculpture park in former gravel pit, Vejle, Denmark

The former industrial site features monumental sculptures in steel, granite, and wood created by artists Jean Clareboudt and Robert Jacobsen across its excavated landscape.

The area surrounding Tørskind contains evidence of Stone Age settlements and Viking activity, including the construction of Ravning Bridge across the valley in the 9th century.

The gravel pit transformation represents Denmark's commitment to repurposing industrial spaces into public art venues while preserving natural landscapes.

Visitors can access the site throughout the day and night, with parking facilities located within 150 meters of the entrance requiring a short walk.

From the upper edges of the pit, visitors can observe one of Denmark's most notable valley sections, showcasing the Vejle River's original meandering path.
