Dyrehavsbakken, Amusement park in Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, Denmark
Description
Dyrehavsbakken is a theme park in Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, Denmark, that stretches through a forested area. Winding paths connect 33 mechanical rides, game booths, stages and restaurants scattered among the trees.
History
In 1583, travelers gathered at a natural spring on this forested ground, laying the foundation for what became the oldest operating amusement park in the world. Over the centuries, the site evolved from a simple meeting point into a leisure park with mechanical attractions.
Culture
Theater performances and variety acts take place on historic stages that have been part of the grounds for generations. Many Danes return each year because they first experienced the rides here as children with their families.
Practical
Admission to the grounds is free, but tickets or wristbands must be purchased to use rides and attractions. The park sits within a deer park, so visitors should watch for wildlife that occasionally wander near the pathways.
Did you know?
The wooden roller coaster from 1932 still uses braking systems operated manually by specially trained staff. Each ride depends on the reaction speed and experience of the brakemen standing on raised platforms along the track.
