Hamlet would approve

The day was incredible hot and people took the opportunity to take a swim in historic surroundings overlooking Kronborg Castle. A spectacular choice if you ask me 😎

A Glorious Walk at Frederiksborg Castle

I’ve spent magical times on my walks at Frederiksborg Castle north of Copenhagen. Winter evenings were beautiful. The Stable Street and portals, gate towers and turrets, the courtyards and of course the view of Frederiksborg Castle, covered with snow all together added the impression of a fairy tale.
These delights are surrounded by wonderful castle gardens.

My plan was to revisit the renaissance castle, the baroque garden and not least the ordinary and spectacular garden with ponds and old trees. Bathhouse, hunting castle and the grazing Dexter cows. Well you might not call it ordinary after all.

Ducks Waiting
Oh! What were the ducks waiting for?

They are waiting for their feathers to grow out properly so they can fly over the castle and enjoy the beautiful sight of all the glory. They will also take the opportunity to forage.

Please remember your lunch!

The history of the castle

‘Bernstoffsparken’

Jeg har ofte cyklet forbi Bernstoffsparken ad Jægersborg Allé, men forleden gjorde jeg et ophold. Vejret var for godt til ikke at udforske parken.
Den overraskede positivt. Stor variation med niveauforskelle, beplantning, sø og flere rum i slotshaven.
I parken er der en café, som drives af frivillige.
Bernstoff Slot stiller en lang række faciliteter til rådighed, men det bliver nok aldrig som dengang, da ‘Europas Svigerfar’ Christian den 9. brugte slottet som sommerresidens : Bernstoff Slot

Falder jeres vej forbi slottet, så er en vandretur hele vejen rundt i parken en anbefaling værd.
