Gandrup - tour around the Teglværkssøerne

The Teglværkssøerne (Brickworks Lakes) are a enchanting natural area that bears traces of its past as clay pits for the Brickworks. These former excavations created several natural lakes, which today are home to a rich and diverse bird and plant life. With its picturesque location by Gandrup, the Teglværkssøerne have developed into a beautiful oasis for nature lovers.

Today, the area has been transformed into a charming nature park where sailors can enjoy a boating dock, and visitors can use cabins and a campfire site for cozy gatherings. Nature enthusiasts and hikers can explore the scenic trails and experience the unique beauty of the surroundings. Covering a substantial natural area of 25 hectares, the Teglværkssøerne invites tranquility and contemplation.

The history of the Teglværkssøerne is revealed in the old excavations, which Gandrup Brickworks engaged in to extract blue clay for the production of yellow bricks. This work extended over a period of about 40 years, from the 1960s until 2000.

Today, the Teglværkssøerne are a living example of how human activity can create a natural treasure that enriches the local community with its scenic beauty and attracts visitors who wish to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and lush wildlife. For those seeking a close encounter with nature, the Teglværkssøerne is the perfect retreat and a place to connect with the surrounding nature in a special way.
