Limhamns kalkbrott

Mining of limestone in the quarry ceased in 1994. Pumping that is maintained to this day prevents the quarry from turning into a lake. The industries were torn down for housing developments in the 2010s. The open pit is a municipal nature reserve since 2011, notable for one of very few pop
