Walking in Jægersborg Dyrehave

AKA Dyrehave (animal park) or Eremitage (hunting castle on the grounds) This is a great family activity for anyone visiting or living around Copenhagen. There are many miles of paths for walking, running, skating, and biking. You can rent a horse carriage to take you to Ermitage or Bakken.  Bakken is the oldest amusement Park in the world, dating from 1583. It's free to get in and you can experience authentic Danish culture. Drink Carlsberg, eat a hakkebøf (like a burger patty with grilled onions with a bun, but Danes with not compare it with a burger), ice cream, see theater,  see Pjerrot the unofficial host of Bakken

Christian, Julian and I took a two hour walk in Dyrehave last Saturday. It was probably the warmest day of the year so far, about 55F. The paths were crowded with families strolling and horse carriages taking people to the castle and back. Julian ran down the paths and through the leaves. He collected a handful of sticks and loved walking around Bakken where people were busy spring-cleaning for the 2008 grand opening in three days. He made plans about all the rides he would try next time we come back.
