Stay Overnight in Ølsted Gravel Pit – A Scenic Shelter Experience

Ølsted Gravel Pit offers a unique overnight experience in beautiful natural surroundings with views of Roskilde Fjord and Arresø. While a gravel pit might not sound like the most inviting place, this area has been transformed into a scenic retreat with shelters and recreational facilities.

Shelters in Scenic Surroundings

In Ølsted Gravel Pit, you will find two shelters, each accommodating 4-5 people. Here, you can fall asleep to the sounds of nature and wake up to a stunning view of the landscape. The shelters operate on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be booked in advance. If the shelters are occupied, there is space to pitch your own tent.

Activities and Facilities

In addition to accommodation, the area offers several facilities:

  • Fitness trails for an active day in nature.
  • Nature playground where children can have fun.
  • Picnic shelter for enjoying packed meals in a dry space.
  • Drinking water available on-site from April to October.

The shelters are located near the road opposite Rakkenhøj Church and are easily accessible for hikers and cyclists.
