Deep below the surface of Jutland lies a hidden world. Mønsted Limestone Mine, the largest of its kind in the world, stretches through endless tunnels and chambers where miners once toiled. Today, visitors can walk the cool labyrinths, hear the echoes of bats, and experience exhibitions that bring the underground history to life.
Nearby is Daugbjerg Limestone Mine, smaller but equally fascinating, with centuries of history carved into the rock. Both mines are part of Denmark’s unique industrial and geological heritage. Stay at Danhostel Stoholm or Danhostel Viborg to explore this extraordinary underground world.
