The hostel is well equipped, for example with a communal kitchen for cooking. The Prisma viewing platform offers a particularly extensive and breathtaking view of the limestone quarry. You can also walk to it. There is a cinema and a menu for groceries nearby.

On the meadow in front of the limestone quarry, some sports equipment invites you to do stretching / strength exercises. Also on the outer edge of the Faxe limestone quarry is the Prisma viewing platform, which has the shape of a prism - hence the name. Between the two mirrored triangles is the viewing platform, from which one can enjoy the impressive view of the entire Faxe limestone quarry.

In the Geomuseum Faxe we take you on a journey through time, 63 million years into the past. At that time, all of Denmark was covered by sea and where Faxe is today, a lush coral reef grew. The reef was home to a wide variety of creatures. Snails, crabs, clams, and sea urchins inhabited its surface, and sharks, nautiloids, and crocodiles circled overhead. The Faxe Geomuseum is located right on the edge of the Faxe limestone quarry. In the museum you can explore the time when the coral reef was alive in the new permanent exhibition 'Denmark's fossil coral reef'. The newly designed exhibition shows the best fossils from the quarry. Go fossil-hunting at Faxe Limestone Quarry and find 63-million-year-old fossils from when Denmark was sea-covered. You can borrow hammers and chisels from Geomuseum Faxe. Source and more: https://oesm.dk/geomuseum-faxe-deutsch

According to legend, the chief's son Rollo, who conquered the land at the mouth of the Seine around 900, came from Faxe. The town was first mentioned in 1280. One of the oldest buildings is the church from 1440. In 1577 the church and vicarage burned down, but were rebuilt. Denmark's oldest Folkeskole is located in Faxe, a half-timbered building from 1633.
