Karlstrup Mine, Former limestone quarry in Solrød Municipality, Denmark

Karlstrup Mine contains a 6-hectare lake with blue water, reaching depths of 14 meters and surrounded by steep limestone slopes.

The limestone quarry formed during the Cretaceous Period and contains marine fossils including sea urchins, corals, and shark teeth within its layers.

The mine has evolved into a recreational area where locals and visitors engage in diving, fishing, and nature observation activities throughout the year.

Two distinct walking paths circle the quarry: a wide trail next to the lake and a narrow path along the quarry ridge.

The site supports various wildlife species, including coots, grebes, herons, common buzzards, kestrels, toads, grass snakes, and lizards.
