Category: Hasle

The cosy town of Hasle, nestling on the cliffs, lies midway between Allinge and Rønne.
Hasle is a very old town, and was mentioned already in the middle of the 1100s. Today, the city is a city of kings, which received its kingship rights back in the 1400s, however, these rights were first confirmed by Christian d. 3. i 1555. The coat of arms is a cloverleaf cross on a blue background and has been known since 1584.

It is believed that the town got its name from the fact that many hazel bushes grew in the area around the town. But the city has also been known by another name, the City of Vegetables. This is because the soil in this area was particularly suitable for growing vegetables, especially potatoes and hasleros (carrots). You can therefore find e.g. carrot street in the city.

In Hasle Lystskov there is an idyllic little forest lake between the trees – Rubinsøen.

The […]

Sapphire Lake – an unused clay pit

In 1968, when the company wanted to expand the possibilities for digging clay for production at the Hasle Klinker- og Chamottestensfabrik, it decided on an area in the forest a short distance from Lake Pyrit. Unfortunately, it was decided to dig a place where the island’s largest population of Screen-flowered Wintergreen grew, but at the […]

The new clay pit – Lake Pyrit

Coal has been dug in Hasle Lystskov since the mid-1800s. In the process, a lot of clay was also obtained, which was used for tiles, among other things. However, there was no real factory of clay products until 1889, when the Hasle Klinke- og Chamottestenfabrik was established. But when that company opened, it needed large […]

The first clay pit – Emerald Lake

Dhen production began at Hasle Klinker- og Chamottestenfabrik in about 1900, a lot of clay was needed. The first clay pit to appear in Hasle Lystskov was the one we know today as Emerald Lake. However, this soon turned out not to be a good idea. They had to stop the clay digging, not because […]
