Rold Skov, Protected forest in Mariagerfjord Municipality, Denmark
Rold Skov extends across 8,600 hectares of land, featuring diverse landscapes with springs, lakes, streams, and hills covered in coniferous and deciduous trees.
The forest harbors numerous archaeological sites from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, including burial mounds and dolmens scattered throughout the woodland areas.
Local traditions of charcoal production persist through demonstrations by the last remaining guild, preserving historical forest craftsmanship for future generations.
Marked trails wind through the forest, connecting natural landmarks like Madum Lake, Økssø, and Mossø, while providing access to underground limestone mines at Thingbæk.
The forest floor supports 5,000 different fungi species, including the mobile Fuligo septica, commonly known as Troldsmør in Danish tradition.
