Gribskov

Gribskov covers more than 5600 hectare and is the largest old forest in Denmark. It mainly consists of broad-leaved trees. The forest is home to Denmark’s largest population of wild fallow deer, but you’ll also find many other animals. If you’re lucky, you might even see breeding fish eagles or beavers. There are several observation towers in the forest where you can observe the animal and bird life.

Gribskov has six hiking trails of various lengths. Several of these are paved. There is also a 1,5 km long handicap trail with info boards and cellphone guides. Should you want to take a break during your hike, there are several fire pits with tables and benches in the forest. If you would like to spend the night in the beautiful scenery, it is possible to raise a tent at three primitive campsites.

There are many exciting attractions and experiences in Gribskov. For example, you can visit Esrum Monastery which has both a museum, a convent garden and a nature playground. The monastery also hosts various events such as Esrum Middle Ages.
