About this campspace

A night in Denmark's oldest limestone mine is a wild and fantastic experience, where you experience nature from a completely different side.

You enter a long narrow mine corridor, where after about 30-40 meters you arrive at 'Jens Langkniv's cave', your place for the night (all the corridors are illuminated so you can easily find your way back and forth). There is only room for 2 people, so you have the whole place to yourself. Yes, in fact, you have the whole lime pit to yourself.

An overnight stay in the lime pit is a unique experience and you decide whether you go for a romantic atmosphere with lots of candles and light chains or go for a 100% raw, nature overnight stay with all the lights off.

[b] YOUR BED [/ b]
We would love to make the bed for you, but due to the high humidity, it is best to make the bed first when you go to bed (then it is warmer!).

The bed consists of 2 sun loungers with accompanying mattresses and 2 large, thick duvets, pillows. Bed linen can be purchased for DKK 30 for two sets. You are welcome to bring an extra blanket or sleeping bag if you are a little cold.

If you book for more than 2 people, you must bring your own sleeping pad and sleeping bag.

Remember that you are staying overnight in an old pit, which is totally protected, so the spirit of the place must be respected. The bats are also protected and must not be touched.

[b] STEAR LIGHT AND LIGHT CHAINS [/ b]
If you are going for the romantic experience, be sure to bring your own candles and light chains (these are NOT on arrival).

[b] TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY [/ b]
You are in a mine, so that means the humidity is high with a constant temperature all year round. The temperature is 9 degrees with a humidity of 97%. The air is nice to sleep in, but remember to bring warm clothes if you are cold.

[b] FACILITIES AND RESIDENCE RULES [/ b]
Toilet and faucet with cold water are located in the forest hut by the mine, where there is a nice campfire with barbecue which can be used. Firewood can either be bought or brought. The site's facilities are shared with any. (overnight) guests in the lime pit.

There is also access to electricity so you can charge your phone or similar.

Stay and use of open fire is at your own risk, both above and below ground. Smoking is prohibited in the pit. You are welcome to light candles and use trangia in the pit.

[b] BAT [/ b]
You share the lime pit with the bat. There is a high probability that you will spot a bat or two (or many more), as the lime pit is a big hit among bats. However, it depends on the season. From October to August, the bats go into dens in the cave, while from August to October they leave the pit to go hunting.

[b] AREA [/ b]
The pit is located in the middle of the beautiful Dybdal forest where the kilometer-long low labyrinthine passages meander deep underground.

In the 16th century, the outlawed highway robber Jens Langkniv lived, after whom the cave is named. The area around the limestone mine is a protected forest, where you, among other things. can walk the "Lime Camino".

- Shelter
If you do not want to sleep down in the lime pit itself, you can instead choose an overnight stay in a shelter. The shelter is located in the middle of the beautiful Dybdal forest where the hiking trail "Kalkminoen" also passes right by.

Underground you have Daubjerg Kalkgrube, where the kilometer-long low labyrinthine passages meander deep underground.

You can visit the limestone mine during its opening hours.
