Hike Through Danish UNESCO World Heritage – Dyrehaven
Experience a private guided hike in the footsteps of the Danish kings through Jægersborg Deer Park close to Copenhagen. One of Denmark’s UNESCO World Heritage sites is located here.
Do like the Copenhageners: Leave busy Copenhagen city and enjoy Jægersborg Deer Park (Dyrehaven), the old royal forest. Relax and exercise while you at the same time experience fragments of Denmark’s history up close – just a short train ride from the Danish capital.
WHAT THE GUESTS SAY
The company I work with went on a guided tour in Dyrehaven with Bente. It was a very interesting and charming walk with both historical accounts and fun anecdotes. I highly recommend Bente as a guide.

The light hike has a focus on cultural history, and we walk through one of Denmark’s UNESCO World Heritage sites: The par force hunting landscape in North Zealand. Together we explore the paths and glades of the old hunting system which were set by one of the absolute kings of Denmark more than 350 years ago. The king controlled the nature so it became easy to practice the par force hunting, his passion.

A light hike with many good stories and time to relax
In the centre of the well-tended forest is The Hermitage Royal Hunting Lodge (in Danish: Eremitageslottet). The beautiful Baroque hunting lodge thrones on a small hill and has a fine view of the Swedish coast. We take a break here so you can rest your legs and digest the many impressions and stories.
WHAT THE GUESTS SAY
An absolutely magical and amazing experience! Bente is so kind and full of information, a truly excellent guide, and the park is so beautiful and peaceful. A really nice way to get out of the city. We saw at least 50 deer and the tour was full of surprises. I highly recommend it!

During the hike you will also experience burial mounds and a landscape formed by the Glacial Age. And you will hear about Denmark’s first soccer match; a buried treasure; a duel over offended honour; and of course the world’s oldest, still-existing amusement park, Dyrehavsbakken. You will see places and hear stories about The Deer Park that even many Danes do not know.
But you can also relax and recharge while walking. Let your thoughts drift and sense nature. Look at the deer, hear the twittering birds and feel the sun and wind – and maybe rain – on your body.
The light hike gives you the opportunity to experience both a UNESCO World Heritage site and relax and exercise in the nature close to Copenhagen. The hike is 6.5 km/4 miles in an easily accessible terrain – and we walk at a leisurely pace suitable for most people.
