go cycling and see some local

NICE BORG

Keeping to the castle theme, we also paid a visit

to Frederiksborg Castle, a striking palace

constructed on three islets on a lake in Hillerød,

about 25 miles north of Copenhagen.

It was completed in 1620 for King Christian

IV of Denmark-Norway, and, like Kronborg,

is magnificently ornate. In 1859 it was gutted

by a terrible fire but was rescued by the

brewing magnate J C Jacobsen, the founder

of Carlsberg. Jacobsen not only paid for the

reconstruction but proposed the development

of a museum. The result was The Museum of

National History, which has been based at

the castle since 1878.

Just a 20-minute walk from Frederiksborg, and

a great base for visiting both the north coast and the

capital city, is Hillerød Camping. This delightful,

green, family-run site boasts a small shop and a

shared kitchen with covered terrace where you can

eat with your fellow campers should you so wish.

It was time to head for Copenhagen, less than

an hour’s train journey from Hillerød. Like most

tourists we headed straight for the Little Mermaid

The Frederiksborg Castle

Tisvilde, Kattegat Coast,

Zealand, Denmark
