An 800m walk west from Klampenborg station is Bakken, established in the 16th century
and now the world's oldest amusement park. A blue-collar version of Tivoli, it's a honky-
tonk carnival of bumper cars, roller coasters, slot machines and beer halls. See the website
for opening times.
Dyrehaven
WALKING, CYCLING
Formally called Jægersborg Dyrehave, Dyrehaven is a 1000-hectare sweep of beech trees
and meadows crisscrossed by an alluring network of walking and cycling trails. Now the
capital's most popular picnicking area, the grounds were established as a royal hunting
ground in 1669. There are still about 2000 deer in the park, mostly fallow but also some
red and Japanese sika deer. Among the red deer are a few rare white specimens, descend-
ants of deer imported in 1737 from Germany, where they are now extinct.
