Madum Lake, Freshwater lake in Himmerland, Denmark

Madum Lake extends over 2.04 square kilometers within Rold Skov forest, reaching depths of 7.5 meters at its lowest point.

The lake formed from a glacial kettle hole during the Quaternary ice age, initially surrounded by heathland before the growth of Rold Skov forest.

Local folklore includes tales of a sunken knight's castle at the bottom of the lake and a giant stone thrown by an angry troll.

Two designated swimming beaches provide access to the lake, with parking facilities and restrooms available for visitors throughout the summer season.

The lake contains rare aquatic plants including Lobelia dortmanna, earning its classification as a Lobelia-lake and indicating exceptional water quality.
