Among the hills covered with heather, wind numerous marked trails for lovers of walking. We arrive, just before the village, on a large parking lot bordered by small inns. In the distant distance (some days) the American and Danish flags. This is Denmark's first national park. Below is the clearing that serves as an amphitheatre for speeches and demonstrations of July 4, most often in the presence of high-ranking personalities from both countries: Queen Margrethe has done so several times, accompanied by a president of the United States. Even Walt Disney held the speaker's role of July 4, 1961. In 1906 Danish immigrants created an American-Danish association that acquired these hills to preserve the end of Denmark from the end of the last century. It must be noted that, from 1840 to 1914, the country no longer managed to feed its entire population, over 300 000 Danes emigrated to the United States (in all, 52 million Europeans over the same period).A little further begins the large forest of Rold which, with its evergreen conifers, gives itself the air of large spaces in Swedish. It is true, the largest forest in Denmark. There are beautiful walks to the lake of Madum, or Store Oksø, or to the springs of Lille Blåkilde or Ravnkilde. Refreshing and typically Scandinavian: you can pick flowers and wild berries of all kinds.
