Jægersborg Deer Park comprises a mix of lush forests, small lakes and wide, open landscapes, and it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was once an area used by the Danish Royal Family for hunting deer. They now roam free and with their numbers having grown to around 2,000.

At Peter Lieps Haus, we had an excellent meal; the Kronenburg Blanc beer was delicious!

Only 10 minutes drive north of Copenhagen you find the oldest amusement park in the world. Located in the woods of Dyrehaven, Bakken is a unique amusement park, which offers a historic and nostalgic venue combined with modern and fun amusements and thrill rides. The entrance is free! https://www.bakken.dk/english/

Good place to take a rest and possibly eat some food. There are benches around the castle and a public toilet.

A dug in fortress from before WW1. Part of a long chain of similar fortresses built to protect Copenhagen from invaders coming from land or sea. Got outdated quickly due to cannons with longer reach and the invention of the airplane
