One of the best day trips I had in Denmark. We drove there but it seems to be surprisingly easy to…read moreget to via the public transit because it's located right off the station. Wonderful mushroom picking experience with knowledgeable guides. The forest is beautiful, lush, and mossy green. I imagine all the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales starting in the woods exactly like this one!

Hareskoven is wonderful! I don't see how you could rate it anything other than 5 stars…read more It's a beautiful forest, with so many possibilities. I love to come here to go for walks with my dog or go for bike rides. It's also great to come here for picnics. There's tons of different roads you can take, some long, some small, depending on what you're in the mood for (or have time for). It's all in all just a stunning place & it's great to be out in nature!

Lovely park with a small lake full of ducks and little fish. Right now it's May so the whole area…read moreis very green and the Rhododendron shrubs are exploding purple. This park is nicely compartmentalized so there are many quieter nooks and you can't hear much traffic even though it's right next to busy Strandvejen in the heart of Hellerup. It is also home to Øregård Museum and borders the Gentofte Library once you get tired of lounging on the grass. Nice to walk through, as we did after the annual Indonesian Cultural Bazaar.

This is a beautiful park. On the south end is a section called Lördagsplan, which is a quiet,…read morescenic stretch of park that feels made for a slow walk or a mental reset. A tree-lined path runs alongside the water, giving it a calm vibe without trying too hard. It's peaceful, breezy, and very Malmö in that understated way. Perfect for a stroll, a pause, or just watching the water and pretending you're not on a schedule.

King Oscar's Park is gorgeous and its fantastic views are not to be missed if you're ever in Malmö!…read moreAfter getting off the train at Malmö C, I wandered the canal until I eventually landed myself here. The day itself was my favorite kind of day, a gentle rainy one that most would consider unpleasant or dreary. Not me. I purposely don't take summer vacations or vacations to hot places. My goal for the first part of my day was to visit the Malmö Museum (Museer in Swedish) and Castle (Malmöhus Slott), but I also made time to really explore the Kungsparken, or King's Park, as well. This was really an unavoidable thing anyway as I had planned to continue to follow the canal into town to meet my friend after work for dinner, shopping, and goofing off. I'm big on the free outdoors when I travel, you can tell. I enjoyed the little clusters of flowers most, but also the canopy of different tree species and the series of trails, bridges and passageways along the canal, which borders one end of the King's Park. Weeping Willows create shade and privacy. I found the park very romantic! The many benches along the trail would have been perfect for a rest, but alas in the rain that was not an option. It's an 8 plus acre park, and a complete circle would be great exercise. The route I took through altogether was 2 miles of walking. If you're headed to the castle fortress and museum anyway, you can't miss it. Note: The Yelp listing also says "Zoo," but if there is one in here I didn't find it...

The area used to be a waste dump but has since been converted into a public recreational area. It's…read morenot the prettiest or the cleanest park in town but it still provides great walks, views, and interaction with "wildlife." Yes, this is the park where you can pet the sheep! (and the occasional llama). They are very friendly and especially friendly if you have food! Make sure to bring sheep-friendly foods like carrots if you want their attention. They are able to associate the sound of plastic bags with food so when they hear it, they will come running! But there's also tons of other things to do in this park, i.e. fish, hike, jog, picnic, etc. There are tons of trails throughout the park and really great views of the ocean. Just remember that the park is maintained only by volunteers so be sure to keep the area clean!

We spent the morning roaming the trails of Dyrehaven. We were looking for a great taste of nature…read moreand hoping for a deer sighting and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed walking thru an empty (not yet open?) Bakken upon entry and then wandered up to Hermitage. We encountered a doe and fawns within 10 minutes, as well as many birds throughout. We hit the jackpot after reaching the lodge, where we walked upon a large herd. Just gorgeous! After spending a while admiring the beauties, we headed off towards the Taarbæk exit to find lunch and back towards the train station. Beautiful grounds, lots of (occasionally marked & mapped) trail options, lovely trees, and stunning deer. A great day in Denmark. :)

When I think of Dyrehaven, the thing that comes to mind is all the times I enjoyed walking through…read morehere as a child with my family. Usually on a day where we had also been to Bakken we would take a stroll through Dyrehaven with either a picnic or to see if we could catch a glimpse of some deer. Now as an adult I still love Dyrehaven just as much! I generally come here just for the sake of enjoying Dyrehaven and not after a day of being at Bakken. Dyrehaven is such a beautiful place and it's perfect for a relaxing walk, going for a run, bike ride or a picnic. It's a big place to explore with many different paths to take that it's always really enjoyable! Plus, It's always such a thrill when you see deer in the distance. Beautiful!

I absolutely love Bagsværd Sø! it's 6.8 km around, so it's a nice big lake…read more It is really nice to go for a walk around the lake. It's a gorgeous lake, and perfect to take your dog around. The water quality in the lake is not suited for swimming as the lake still receives spillover from three outlets from the public sewer system. It is however possible to rent canoes, kayaks, rowboats and sailboats. Which is super fun, and highly recommended! :)
