Our house is situated in a quiet residential and very green area, shopping within walking distance. The town of Birkeroed is not big, but very charming with its pedestrian street, shops cafés and church.
About 400 m from our house there are three small lakes and if you fancy bigger lakes, we have one only 1 km away. Perfect for a good walk.
If you want sea water, we are only 8 km from some pretty nice beaches, the closest one being that of Vedbæk Strand (beach).
You can go by car or train (25 min.) to Copenhagen which is a lovely city in the summer with its pedestrian streets, cafés, parks, shops and waterfront.
You can go to Helsingør (Elsinore), 30 minutes by car, to see Hamlet's castle or to take a day trip to Sweden. Another 15 minutes away you find Frilandsmuseet, an open air museum with over 50 farmhouses, houses and mills, all furnitured, from the last 300 years.
There is a 90 minutes drive to Hans Christian Andersen´s house in Odense and 3-4 hours to Legoland. And only 45 min. by car to the famous viking museum in Roskilde.
This just to mention some of the activities that the area offers. You will find more on
