Fra slutningen af 1800-tallet til 1970 har der været brændt tegl
på Sofienlund Teglværk, som lå mellem Sofienlund Lergrav og
Gudenåen. Leret til teglet blev hentet i Sofienlund Lergrav,
hvorefter man blev nødt til at "magre" det ved at tilsætte
sand.
I starten har man transporteret det færdige tegl på pramme langs
Gudenåen. Prammene blev trukket af mennesker og i dag kan man
stadig gå på trækstien langs Gudenåen - også her i Ulstrup.
På den vestlige skråning har man ryddet et stykke af skrænten
for bevoksning, så man kan se de geologiske lag og hvordan landet
er blevet dannet. Området her er af så stor geologisk betydning, at
man har udnævnt det som National Geologisk Interesseområde.
Det kan anbefales at gå rundt om søen, turen er ca. 600 meter
lang og man kan nemt medbringe barnevogne og klapvogne.
Kørestolsbrugere har muligvis brug for hjælper den sidste meter.

Velcome to the Sofienlund Claypit.
From the end of 1800s until 1970 tiles were baked at the
Sofienlund Tileworks, situated between the claypit and the Gudenå
river. The clay for the tiles was dug in the claypit, after which
sand was added to get the right texture.
Early on, the finished tiles were shipped on barges along the
Gudenå. The barges were pulled by people, and today you can still
follow the paths used along the brinks of the Gudenå - also here in
Ulstrup.
On the western slope of the claypit, a part of the vegetation
has been cleared, so you can see the geological layers and how the
land was formed. This area is so important geologically, that it is
appointed National Geographic Area of Interest.
It is recommended to walk around the lake, it's a walk of
approximately 600 meters, and prams and pushchairs can easily be
brought along. Wheelchair users may need help for the catual cache
extraction, but can otherwise take the trip as well.
