Mønsted Limestonemine


In Mønsted Limestone Caves there are more than 60 kilometres of underground paths. Some are as large as cathedrals and others are so narrow that a grown man cannot walk through them upright. Electric light is provided in 2 kilometres of pathway. From the main path which leads into the caves you can by means of a side path gain access to an old-age cave system. Further down the main path you reach "Nonbos Cave" where people worked in the years around 1840.	Click to enlarge
From this cave you have access to the deepest paths which lead to two lakes. Over the largest lake a multi-media show takes place every hour, describing the history of the caves. The pictures and images are dramatically projected on the cave walls and water surface. The paths provided with electric light are safe, however unlit areas are potentially dangerous. You can get lost and in various places there are deep holes.
