Rebild Bakker & Rold Skov
Rebild Bakker og Rold Skov
Denmark's largest forest and heather hills, part of Rebild National Park. It is ideal for hiking, with a varied landscape of springs, lakes and hills.
Rold Skov is Denmark's largest forest and, together with the Rebild Hills, forms Rebild National Park. The Rebild Hills are a rolling expanse of heathland, where the heather blooms purple in August, and from the summits you can look out over the forest. Since 1912, Europe's largest American Independence Day celebration has been held here every year on July 4. Within the forest are clear springs (such as Lille Blåkilde), lakes, and many clearly marked hiking and mountain biking trails. There is also the Lincoln Log Cabin and a small museum documenting the history of Danish emigration to America. Entry is free. It is about 30 kilometers from Aalborg, roughly 30 minutes by car, or you can take a train to Skørping and transfer to a bus.
