Tips from the Community
You watch over the lake both from the ground floor and the roof. It can be windy at the top. It's a great place to eat a bit of food while looking for birds

Fantastic wooden bridge to ride (cautiously and considerately) around the lake. Enjoy the view rather than the speed!

Beautiful wooden walkway that you can use to walk around the lake. A real eye-catcher!

As Norway has Holmenkollen for skiing, Denmark has Holtekollen. And it is located at Stenvej in the middle of Geelskov. Nowadays it is mostly used for tobogganing. But originally, when it was created in 1943, the name covered a ski jumping facility, which was used several times as an arena for Danish ski jumping championships. The facility, which was completed in the middle of World War II on February 27, 1943, was no mini-put facility. It consisted of three hills, the largest at 40 metres, and at a ski jumping competition in 1952 as many as 30,000 paying spectators turned up. It was the Copenhagen Ski Club that built the original jumping facility. But from 1955 it was the Holte Sports Association's ski group that in practice ran the hills, and in 1963 the Holte Association took them over completely. Snow – or rather lack of snow – has regularly created challenges for ski jumpers and organizers. In the years after World War II, the snow came to Holtekollen from Norway, when the sky above Geelskov was not generous enough. The Norwegian snow was transported as return goods in the train carriages that brought relief to the Norwegians after the Second World War. At a championship in 1960, another way was found to create a fine white cover over the Holtekollen. Now scraped ice was collected from the Rødovre Ice Stadium. A few years later – in 1963 – the competitive discipline of ski jumping was combined with 10 km cross-country. Since then, the competitions have been more sporadic, and the original - and gradually dilapidated - scaffolding was demolished in 1965 and replaced with temporary ones in connection with concrete championships. The last time they tried to organize a competition at Holtekollen was in 1996. But there was a lack of snow, and the event was cancelled. However, the temporary scaffolding on the hill was left standing so that it could be used as a vantage point. It was not until 10 years later – in 2006 – that the scaffolding was taken down. The inspiration for the name of the ski hill in Geelskov was taken from Norway's Holmenkollen, which is located on the outskirts of Oslo and for more than 100 years has been the center of skiing and especially for ski jumping competitions on the Holmenkollen hill.
