Jægersborg Dyrehave, also known as Dyrehaven ("Deer Park"), is a charming forest park located north of Copenhagen, Denmark. Spanning around 11 square kilometers, this park is famous for its ancient oak trees and thriving populations of red and fallow deer. The park used to be hunting grounds for King Christian VI, so his "hunting lodge," the Hermitage, is located in the middle of it. One of the entrances to the park is right next to Klampenborg S-train station, so it's very easy to get to from central Copenhagen. It's a beautiful place to visit, especially in the summer and fall. You can BYO picnic or eat at Pieter Lieps Hus, an adorable thatched-roof restaurant featuring classic Danish cuisine. Bakken, Denmark's oldest amusement park, is also located in Dyrehaven, so if you're visiting with kids during one of Bakken's opening seasons, you can double-up your visit.
