Landscape design of King Christian V - some background knowledge

From 1670 and the years ahead, King Christian V transformed the royal hunting ground of North Sealand to a perfect par force hunting system inspired by the French Sun King Louis XIV's Palace. The landscape was designed with ruler-straight forest roads in a pattern of stars surrounded by squares as in a Baroque garden.

Thus, it is a magnificent setting of the King's absolute power over nature. Par force hunting was not about getting food on the table. Instead, it was a great organised show which was to demonstrate the pomp and power of the King.

While the king and his guests waited at a central place in the forest, horsemen and dogs drove a magnificent red deer around until it was exhausted whereupon the King had the honour of killing the deer with a small hunting sword called the hirschfänger.

Why UNESCO World Heritage?

Some of the reasons why the UNESCO Committee has included the Par force Hunting Landscape in North Sealand on the World Heritage List are that it "is an unusual and well-preserved example of how the values of the European baroque were transformed into the design of nature."

How can you experience the par force hunting landscape today?

The Par Force Hunting Landscape in North Sealand consists of public forests where everybody is allowed to go. The forests have their own individual characters and you can experience them on foot, on a bike or on horseback.

Hiking

Gribskov is Denmark's largest old forest. Here, you can experience majestic giant oaks which have lived through centuries of changes, a rich animal and bird life and lots of exciting culture tracks. Whether you prefer a quiet, peaceful walk or hiking deep into the forest, you find nice hiking trails in Gribskov.

Four folders cover the forest and show the marked routes, paths and forest roads. You can also find information on parking, primitive accommodation, bonfire places, bird towers, etc.

The forest is also perfect if you want to hike or go running and there are several marked routes. Find them in the folder Store Dyrehave (the Great Deer Park).

It is obvious to experience the par force hunting landscape on a bike. The many roads in all directions most of which are closed for cars invite for a good bike ride with the whole family. Are you more into mountain bikes? No problem. There are really good tracks for this as well.

In Gribskov, you can follow the Par force cycle route 105 which is marked with blue signs. The route starts at Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød and runs through par force hunting roads deep into Gribskov.

To experience Store Dyrehave (the Great Deer Park) on a bike, you can follow the Par force cycle route 110 which starts from Frederiksborg Castle. The route is marked with blue signs and goes from the castle through roads and paths to Store Dyrehave (the Great Deer Park) and back to Frederiksborg.

If you prefer riding a mountain bike, high speed and raw paths, Store Dyrehave (the Great Deer Park) have one of Denmark's best mountain bike tracks of approx. 20km around in the country.

Horse riding

The most authentic way of experiencing the Par force hunting landscape, the historical, royal hunting landscape is probably on horseback.
