One of the most beautiful gallop runways in the world. Right at the border, and with great views over, the Dyrehaven park. A few restaurants, a grill with excellent fresh grilled sausages, etc., and a picnic area. When there are races on Fridays, it is a good place to go for some beers while watching the races.

The world's oldest intact surviving amusement park, and has a reputation for being more folksy than its downtown rival, Tivoli.
