Kongernes Nordsjælland

Kongernes Nordsjælland is a large national park in North Zealand with different landscapes including forests, lakes, heathlands, and farmland. The area contains Gribskov forest and several large lakes that together form a varied nature and culture zone.

The park was officially established in 2018, but the process started in 2008 when parliament approved it. Creating the park required lengthy negotiations to determine its exact boundaries.

The park contains traces from many periods, including Stone Age dolmens and medieval ruins, showing how long people have lived in this area. These remains are scattered throughout and tell the story of the region's past.

Visitors can explore the area easily by bicycle using marked routes or by train from Hillerød. Weekday visits tend to be less crowded than weekends.

The area is home to four types of deer - red, roe, fallow, and sika - along with rare birds like black woodpeckers and white-tailed eagles. Gribskov forest is also known for its ancient oak trees that have stood there for centuries.
