Lake Saphire - a former clay tomb
The beautiful Safirsø (Lake Saphire) is a former clay tomb used by Hasle Klinker- and Chamottestensfabrik in the years 1968-75. However, they never succeeded in finding clays that were of sufficient quality so that it could be included in the production. Therefore, the excavation was stopped and the tomb was then naturally filled with water. As there was no excavation for so long, the lake is not very deep either.
