Helsingør has a fantastic location: the sea on one side and forests on the other. Here you can enjoy wonderful walks through the forest just outside the city.

This is one of the peaceful lakes in the nature reserve Teglstrup Hegn. You can come here to rest and enjoy. You must have a valid national fishing license to fish in Klaresø.
