Hestehave Forest, State forest in Syddjurs Municipality, Denmark
Hestehave Forest extends over 1.5 square kilometers near the Baltic Sea, featuring numerous beech trees and diverse hiking trails through natural landscapes.
The forest belonged to the Kalø Estate and contains Baron Vilhelms Beech, a 36-meter tall tree with a 4.7-meter circumference dating from the 1850s.
The Danish Environmental Research Institute conducts studies in the forest, monitoring tree growth patterns, carbon storage, and a population of 300 roe deer.
Visitors can access multiple hiking routes, including a 3-kilometer loop to Kalø Castle Ruins and a 6.7-kilometer trail near Bregnet Kirke.
The forest includes a section called troll forest, where old beech trees developed unusual shapes from exposure to sea winds since the 1600s.
