Top 20 Natural Monuments in Fredensborg

Fredensborg Castle Gardens are one of the largest historical gardens in Denmark and one of the most beautiful baroque gardens not only in Denmark but in all of Scandinavia. The long straight avenues radiating out from the chateau in a star shape are a feature of the garden's original French Baroque style. The star shape makes the castle a powerful center that once symbolized the power of the autocratic king, where the winding avenues were meant to demonstrate man's ability to dominate nature. The garden is richly decorated with sculptures, which were mainly created in the period 1760-1770. The romantic style, to which the castle garden was partially converted between 1833 and 1850, can be clearly seen in the natural forest areas of the garden. The reorganization meant most avenues were removed. In the last quarter of the 20th century, most of the avenues from the baroque period were recreated so that you can once again experience the wide view of the Esrumsee. Source: Wikipedia

Während des 2. Weltkriegs war de sogenannte Köhlergruppe aktiv im Widerstandskampf. The group merged the Waffen container, the von der Englischen Luftwaffe über dem Gribskov abgeworfen wurden ein.

The 14th anniversary of the Wald bis zum Esrum See zu kommen. Mit einem Ruderboot gelang sie dann an das gegenüberliegende Ufer vom See. The bullet at the marked route close to the intersection of Stutterivej and Søndre Skovportsvej near the Smørsten has been reminiscent of a fierce battle between opponents and Germans the night of April 21, 1945. The place was used for the removal of weapons from allied aircraft to the resistance movement, and this The last weapon reception was revealed by the Germans. They surrounded the 18 men, "The Bulls Battalion", who were saving the dumped firearms, hand grenades and ammunition, which were instead used to answer the fire of the 120 German police soldiers. To Germans were shot, four opponents were captured , and the rest fled in dinghies across Esrum Lake or to Hillerød. The four captured were released when the occupation ended two weeks later. Nearby is the Morsestenen, where the resistance leader's local leader was sitting as he routed the planes over the place. The master signal for B (- ...) has been captured.

Der "Smørsten", which is geologically seen is a wandering block, liegt hier im Wald, seit sich das Eis vor ca. 13,000 years back. Über die Meaning of Names gibt es viele, mostly very imaginative stories. The butter stone rises with vertical sides like a small triangular mountain between fir trees by a forest path in Gribskov. The butterstone consists of granite with pegmatitic passages, where centimeter-sized quartz and feldspar grains are seen. The butter stone consists of medium-grained homogenous light red-grey granite. 55% feldspar grains up to 1 cm in size 20% 2-3 mm white plagioclase grains 20% smoke colored 2-3 mm quartz grain 5% dark minerals In many places, pegmatitic sheaths with up to 2 cm grains of smoky quartz and white kalifeldspar with perthite striations are seen. The sheaths are 1 to 5 cm wide and up to ½ m long. The stone is smooth ground on the lower half and rougher on the upper half. On the south side, the ice scouring is pronounced, and you can see scour marks and a sickle-shaped fracture. The butter stone stands on an approximately right-angled triangular ground plan. The apex of the right angle points to the southeast. The sides of the triangle are measured: Side to the south 2.4 m. Side to the east 2.2 m. Side to the north 3.3 m. The points of the triangle are cut off to the west (facing the path) and measure 0.8 m. And to the east, the blunt tip measures 0.9 m. The total circumference between chest height and knee height is 10.5 m. Its volume is estimated at 12 cubic metres, giving it a weight of around 30 tonnes, granite weighing 2.7 tonnes per cubic metre. There is no legend attached to the Smørstenen according to the book on 'Danish stones in legend and faith' from 1994. And the excavated giant stone is not mentioned at all in the book 'Danmark's giant stone in folkeoverlervingen' from 1932. But in the book 'Gribskov' from 2009 it is found tradition described that the stone turns when it smells of freshly churned butter on Easter Sunday, and that the stone has been a harbinger of spring, as spring was supposed to be just around the corner when a dollop of butter placed on top of the stone melted. Likewise, in the Gribskovbogen, a throwing legend is reproduced which tells that "It must originate from Kullen and was thrown after Nøddebo Church. When the monks from Esrum built Nøddebo Church, the coal man became angry and threw a large stone at the church. When it didn't hit, he took an even bigger stone and threw it with great force at the church, but it missed and lies in the forest near Egelund". And sure enough, there is a giant stone at Egelund - called the Trollstone. However, it should have been thrown by the Devil and not the Coal Man.

In one Storm 1827 one big book feels. Instead of dying, 5 new book strains grow from the fallen book. Duch the particular form of the progressive tribes under other perpendicular standing tribes they look like masts on a sailing ship. //// The ship is probably Gribskov's most peculiar attraction of nature. For several decades it had become a rumor that the 6 old beech trees 1 km north of the Forest School in a row and row close to each other in reality were the side branches of a toppled beech that had taken root and had grown further. Could that be right? Yes ! In the old operating plan of 1878, the tree formation is described, and at that time you could clearly see the overturned tree. So the ship is really a real "frigate tree", and even Denmark's finest. The oldest parts date back at least to the 18th century. The ship is difficult to find these years because of the strong beech growth in the section of the forest where it stands. But in the back of the book's map (and in Volume 2) you can see the tree's GPS coordinates, so with a pocket GPS and a little talent, you can go right there.

At the end of Frederik IV all ', north of Nødbo on the banks of Esrum lake, several old beech stands as an avenue towards the water. Probably the avenue has originally continued all the way to the present Gillelejevej. Only a few of these beech stands back along the road, which is today called Frederik IV allé. If the line is extended to the east above the lake, it continues in the baroque hall, which extends from the lake bank up to Fredensborg Castle. It was Frederik IV who was responsible for the construction of Fredensborg Castle and to leave the avenue over the lake and into the forest on the other side. Only built in the early 1720s. King Frederik IV was married to Louise of Mecklenburg in 1695 on fatherly orders. When Queen Luise died in 1721, he married Anna Sophie Reventlow. This caused some fury at the court and it is said that for peace, they went on excursions along Esrum Lake. It is also said that it was her who had the idea of ​​letting the avenue extend west of the lake. Thus, it should be her who has named the Queen's beech.
