Originally constructed to serve as the king's private hunting ground, the parforce hunting landscape in North Zealand nowadays is a recreational area just north of Copenhagen. It's a large forest/park that also contains a golf course and an amusement park. In the center of the park (Jægersborg Dyrehave = Hunters Castle Deerpark) you can easily spot deers, a legacy from the hunting days.

I went there on a sunny day in May. It was a pleasant experience and I was itching to go for a run. In a way I did, as my schedule was rather short and in the end I needed to hurry a bit to get to the station on time. Plan at least 2-3h, the park is huge.

OUV

I am a bit hard pressed to see the OUV of this site. It's a very pleasant park and if I was living in Copenhagen I would frequent it regularly. But even after reading the nomination file for a third time I am hard pressed to see the OUV.

Logistics

There are two railway stations next to the park. Skodsborg Station (North) and Klampenborg Station near the main entry (South). Connections from Kopenhagen Central Station are frequent. My recommendation would be to go to Skodsborg first and then walk through the park to Klampenborg.

Nearby WHS

With Kopenhagen as your center you can easily visit Roskilde, Stevns Klint and Kronborg. Kronborg is on the same railway line as Klampenborg and Skodsborg.
