Karlstrup kalkgrav
Karlstrup Kalkgrav is a limestone quarry and recreational area located southeast of the village of Karlstrup in Solrød Municipality. Immediately southeast of the area, it is separated from Solrød Strand by the Køge Bugt Motorway. From 1843, limestone was quarried on the 30-hectare area until Aalborg Portland abandoned the activities in 1975. The six-hectare lake, Zealand’s clearest, is part of Karlstrup Skov, which is also the name of the entire area, which contains the limestone quarry, Fourmileskoven and Karlslunde Mose.
