Gentofte Lake

The freshwater lake spans 36.73 hectares, offering walking paths along its perimeter and adjacent parklands for outdoor recreation throughout the year.

The lake played an important role in Copenhagen's municipal water supply system until 1959, marking a significant period in the region's infrastructure development.

Mitchell's former hosiery factory buildings, established in 1795 near the lake, remain as yellow structures that represent early industrial development in the area.

The water body connects to multiple transportation options, including nearby train stations and bus stops that link visitors to central Copenhagen and surrounding districts.

The northwest section of the lake joins with Brobæk Mose bogland, creating a mixed ecosystem that supports diverse wildlife and plant species.
