The par force hunting landscape in North Zealand
The cultural landscape is located approximately 30 km northeast of Copenhagen and includes the hunting forests of Store Dyrehave and Gribskov and the Jægersborg Hegn/Jægersborg Dyrehave hunting park. It is a carefully designed landscape where the Danish kings and their courts practiced compulsory hunting or hunting with hounds, which reached its peak in the late 17th and 18th centuries when absolute monarchs turned it into a power landscape. With hunting paths laid out in a star pattern, combined with an orthogonal grid pattern, numbered stone pillars, fences and hunting lodges, the site demonstrates the application of Baroque landscape design principles to a forested area.
