Rebild Bakker

The protected area features purple heather hills, extensive hiking trails, and natural springs surrounded by Denmark's largest forest, Rold Skov.

Danish-American immigrants purchased 200 acres of heathland in 1911 and donated it to Denmark as a symbol of connection between both nations.

The park hosts the largest 4th of July celebration outside the United States, drawing thousands of visitors for traditional music and speeches.

Visitors can explore 50 kilometers of mountain bike trails, fish in streams with proper permits, or rent canoes for water activities.

Free-roaming sheep maintain the natural state of the heathland throughout the year, preserving its ecological balance and landscape.
