Jægersborg Dyrehave, Forest park in Lyngby-Taarbæk, Denmark
The 11-square-kilometer park contains three deer species, including 300 red deer, 1700 fallow deer, and 100 sika deer roaming freely among ancient oak trees.
Frederik III established the park in 1669 by enclosing Boveskov area and encouraging wild deer from neighboring regions to settle in the newly created space.
The park features the Hermitage Hunting Lodge, constructed between 1734 and 1736 by architect Lauritz de Thurah for royal banquets following hunting activities.
Visitors can reach the park through a 20-minute train ride from central Copenhagen to Klampenborg Station, with 19 red-painted gates providing entry points.
The park's path system forms a star shape, originally designed to enhance visibility for hunters during traditional Danish royal hunting expeditions with hounds.
