Dyndet near Borup is a former peat digging site, mostly exploited during World War II when fuel was scarce. With its rich flora and fauna, the area has today developed into a gem of nature and is one of the best botanical localities in Denmark.

Dyndet bathing lake

Here is also a bathing lake, a result of massive gravel digging in the past. Today the lake is a popular excursion destination. Climbing the stairs near the lake you can reach one of the tops of Køge Ridge for a marvellous view of the scenery.

After your tour of the landscape, it is recommended to visit the cosy grocery store Mosehuset, oozing an atmosphere and nostalgia of its own. Christmas elves are on sale here throughout the year!

If you have worked up a hunger, there is a charming café available, Malerklemmen, that makes you feel you have stepped several hundred years back in history.
