In the 1920s, the people of Stevns started quarrying limestone in Boesdal Limestone Quarry. You can see the remains from the time when limestone was quarried and processed in Boesdal. Quicklime was made in the two kilns at the edge of the quarry. The 20 m tall and 60 m wide pyramid in the quarry was used for storing crushed and dried limestone.

The limestone quarry was abandoned in the 1970s. Today, Boesdal Limestone Quarry is used for cultural activities, and it has shelters where you can stay overnight.

In the northern part of the limestone quarry, you can study the geology of Stevns Klint and see how the cliff's banks continue inland. If you walk around the abandoned quarry, you may be lucky enough to see one of Denmark's smallest butterflies.
