The Par force hunting landscape in North Zealand is a UNESCO World Heritage site that preserves the unique hunting grounds used by Danish royalty in the 17th and 18th centuries. This area encompasses vast forests, straight riding paths radiating from star-shaped clearings, and historical landmarks such as royal hunting lodges and stone markers. Visitors can explore the forest on foot or by bike, following the historic routes that were designed for par force hunting, where riders chased deer with hounds.
