Collapse Pits Røverstuen and Hestegraven

Highlight • Cave

In the middle of Hesselholt Skov, part of Rold Skov, the ground opens up to one of the region's most fascinating geological phenomena. The sinkhole Røverstuen is about twelve meters deep and measures approximately 35 meters in diameter. Sinkholes form when percolating rainwater dissolves chalk, creating a cavity that eventually collapses. However, the exact cause of Røverstuen has not been fully clarified to this day, as the chalk lies unusually deep here. What geology leaves open, legend fills. A band of robbers is said to have once lived at the bottom of the hole, well hidden next to the old forest path Roldvej, and listened to passing travelers with ropes and bells.

Store Økssø

Highlight • Lake

The idyllic Store Økssø lake is located in the Rold Skov forest area. A flat walking path with picnic areas runs around its shore, which is also accessible with strollers. Swimming is possible in the lake all year round, even in winter.
