Make sure you eat a late breakfast, because lunch is AFTER the tour (1.5 miles from Robber’s Cave), at Hi-Way Diner – 2105 Nebraska Pkwy, Lincoln.

These tours require several steps and walking on uneven ground. Enter at your own risk. Tours are generally 45 to 60 minutes in length depending on the number of questions. Please do not touch the walls – vandalizing the cave in anyway will result in immediate removal from premises and a vandalism citation will be issued. Due to city fire code, there is a 30 person limit per tour.

Take photos – Yes, they are certainly allowed! (Checkout @RobbersCaveTours on Facebook.)
Robber’s Cave is older than the city of Lincoln, and its tunnels are no longer sealed from the public. For years, access has been denied to the infamous and notorious Robber’s Cave. Now, Lincoln, Nebraska’s, only underground attraction is no longer shrouded in mystery. Whether you visited Robber’s Cave legally or illegally, are learning about it for the first time, or are one of the thousands who have returned to the sandstone tunnels for a trip down memory lane, you will enjoy discovering all aspects of the cave’s fascinating past on a cave tour with Joel Green, author of ROBBER’S CAVE: Truths, Legends, Recollections. Enjoy Green’s extended tour of what he has always felt is a story that deserves to be told.

The Danish Windmill is a museum for all people interested in Denmark, Danish customs, Scandinavian traditions, and of course, Windmills. Elk Horn’s Danish Windmill is America’s only authentic working Danish Windmill. The Mill, originally built in Nørre Snede, Denmark in 1848 was brought to the United States November, l975 and rebuilt in Elk Horn, Iowa by community volunteers in l976, our Bicentennial year. The Danish Windmill finished restoration work. The Mill was restored to working condition and serves as a historical and educational museum.

The Danish community is located six miles north of Interstate 80 (exit 54). The community with its rich rural ties is proud of its distinction of being the largest Danish settlement in the United States.
In addition to the Windmill, you’ll want to visit other cultural heritage sites in the area such as the Museum of Danish America which will allow you to trace the steps of Danish Immigrants and their settlement in the United States and Bedstemor’s House, a restored turn-of-the-century home. Stepping through its door will take you back to your grandmother’s time.
Visit quaint shops and stores with unique and lovely gift items. You’ll also enjoy the authentic tastes of Danish foods and baked goods.
Make Elk Horn a stop on your next vacation or a day trip and enjoy the charm, hospitality, and heritage of this Danish village.

Admission:
$5 for adults
