Dyrehaven

Frederik III had the beech wood fenced in 1669 and wild deer driven into it from the country around, and the deer are still the point: about 2,100 of them, 1,700 fallow, 300 red and 100 sika, among huge old oaks and beeches across eleven square kilometres. Nineteen red gates, each with the monarch’s insignia painted on top and an identical gate house beside it, give access to the park. It is managed as natural forest rather than for timber, with old trees felled only when they threaten the public. UNESCO listed it in 2015.
