About Jægerspris
Jægerspris grew up around its castle from about 1870 and now has around 4,100 people, 6 km northwest of Frederikssund across Roskilde Fjord. Hornsherred is a mainly rural peninsula between Roskilde Fjord and Isefjord. Much of the town's north end is forest, with hiking and biking trails around the castle, and Jægerspris Nordskov holds Denmark's oldest oak, thought to be 1,500 to 1,900 years old. The castle keeps the rooms of Frederik VII and Countess Danner, who is buried in its park. The homes are scattered around Jægerspris, sleep four to eight and every one has a fireplace.
