Guided tour of Jægersborg Dyrehave (The Deer Park)

Experience Danish UNESCO World Heritage

Light guided hike through Jægersborg Dyrehave (The Deer Park)

350 years ago, the Danish absolute king, Christian 5, controlled the nature in what is now Jægersborg Dyrehave (The Deer Park). The king wanted a landscape where he could practice his passion, the par force hunting. Today King Christian 5's old hunting landscape is one of Denmark’s nine UNESCO World Heritage sites, and on this light hike you will explore the old paths and glades together with a local guide.

As we walk through The Deer Park, we will for sure meet some of the more than 2000 free-range wild deer who live here, many of them are descendants of the deer from the time of the par force hunting.

During the tour, you will hear stories and anecdotes about the powerful absolute kings and the par force hunting. Also experience other fragments of Denmark’s history up close: Denmark’s first soccer match, a buried treasure, and more. You will see places and hear stories that even many Danes do not know.

Wear good walking shoes, and dress for the unpredictable Danish weather. It is also a good idea to bring drinking water and maybe a snack.

You can end the tour with a visit to Dyrehavsbakken, the world’s oldest amusement park (on your own).
