Himmelsøen, Denmark

Himmelsøen is a large groundwater lake that is almost invisible from a distance, as it lies deep in the former Darup Gravel Pit. Himmelsøen invites for swimming, a walk with the family, dog walking and a ride on horseback. There are three small islands reserved for birds and a breeding area for field lizards on the slopes. There are cycling trails around the lake, as well as shelters, a fire pit, a table bench set and a toilet.
