담후소엔 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Damhussøen is a large, artificial lake and is a tranquil escape for locals who enjoy, cycle and run along the flat, 3.5 kilometre gravel path. Historically used as a reservoir for Copenhagen’s water supply, the lake is now a protected nature area particularly popular for birdwatching.

Further north, there is a lake and relatively untouched nature, while further south, the area becomes more park-like until it merges into Damhusengen at Jyllingevej in Vanløse.

At the western end of the lake there is a large playground with seating, a drinking fountain, and public restrooms.

Very nice Cafe with excellent beer and service.

Location for concerts and other events, which burned down some years ago, but got reconstructed.

Damhussøen, or Damhussøen, is located in Copenhagen between Vanløse, Rødovre, Roskildevej, and Damhusengen, extending to Jyllingevej in the north. The green space is connected to Grøndalsparken, Krogebjergparken, and Vigerslevparken. The lake covers an area of 46 hectares. The dam in the south, over which Roskildevej is carried, was built in connection with the construction of the road in 1621. The aim was to ensure a stable water level in the lake and a better water supply to Copenhagen via Grøndalsåen and Ladegårdsåen. In 1849, additional dams were built, separating the northern part of the lake, Bagsøen, from the southern part. The Harrestrup Å, which formerly ran through the lake, was diverted into a ditch with dams on each side on the eastern side of the meadow in 1938. At the same time, Bagsøen was drained, creating Damhusengen. The lake and meadow were granted park status in 1941 and have been protected since 1966. The lake is named Damhus Sø after Damhuset, which is actually named after the lake formerly known as Langvaddam or simply Dammen. The area is also known for its inn. The small local amusement park was demolished in 2016.
