Top 5 Natural Monuments around Rold Skov

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.

You will find this bubbling spring in the Lindenborg River Valley. An artesian well has been built at this groundwater source. The winter magic here is also special: when it is very cold, the splashing water freezes into ice on the sides of the pipe

Lille blåkilde is so clear that you can drink directly from the source

In the Mountain Forest, there are many burial mounds from Bondestenalder and Bronze Age. However, most of them are difficult to spot because of plant growth. ---------------------------------------------- Beside in mountain forest one finds many Grabhügel from the Stone-Young Bronze Sea. Because of this, it is not easy to find something like that.

Frueskoen is Northern Europe's largest orchid species. It blooms every year from around Constitution Day and only for approx. 2 weeks. On a slope in the Mountain Forest, there is the only habitat for our largest orchid - Frueskoen. It was found the first time in 1880, but was almost exterminated by the plant hunting of careless people. Therefore, it has been necessary to set up a fence around the place. -------------------------------------------------- --- On one hill in mountain forest you find the only place, and the large orchid Northern Europe: fresh fruit. The orchid ends at the end of May, starting June at about 2 weeks. They were found at the earliest ground in the year 1880, but they were permanently lost due to carefree flaming hunting. Then it was useful to hang the hangers and protect them with a sow and guard cameras.

Lille Blåkilde is located west-northwest of Nørreskov. Lille Blåkilde is one of the largest sources in the Rold Forest area. Its water flow is approx. 90 l. second, and it drains an area of 10-12 km2. The source is a power source. The water flows out through several small craters - often with limestone, among other things just below the big stones at the top of the source by the path. The source's outlet ends in Lindenborg Å after approx. 70 m. The limestone is clearly seen under the trees on the right side of the stairs up from Lille Blåkilde, and on the left side of the stairs is the lime covered by a thin mulch layer, which is now the rare habitat we call lime drift. There are a number of lime-loving plants on the slope - eg. hollow requirement code driver, sanicle, thin-axle gourd. In addition, there are some residues that testify that the slope a few years ago was the forest deck - among other things. large selection and grapes. ----------------------------------- Little Blåkilde is lying westnordwestlich vom Nørreskov. Little Blåkilde is one of the largest sources in the area of Rold Forest. There Wasserdurchfluss is approx. 90 l. per second and produces a dish of 10-12 km2. This source is a flow cell. The water flows through several small craters - often with lime bays, among others directly below the large rocks on the edge of the wells in the road. Abfluss der Quelle ends approx. 70 Metern im Fluss Lindenborg Å. The lime is visible at the bottom of the booths on the right side of the well below the well. The left side there is covered with lime with a thin layer of dust. There are some limousines in Hang - u.a. hohlkodierter Kamm, sanitäres, dünnachsiges Kuckuckskraut. Daruus hinaus even gives us some superiors, who say that there was hanging for some years under another. great Konvale und Traubenmönche.

The Räuberstube is a sinkhole: 12 meters deep and 35 meters in diameter. The cave was formed by acid rain, which dissolved the limestone in the high-lying limestone bedrock. According to myth, the robbers of Rold also lived in this cave.
