A beautiful and natural path along Lynbgy Lake. The path can become very muddy and flooded quickly after rain, so I only recommend visiting in reasonably dry weather. The footpath is also quite narrow, which means that it can get quite congested on weekends when the weather is good. Although cycling is permitted, I would advise against it due to the narrowness of the path, and even a jog can be somewhat strenuous when the path is busy.

Beautiful lake, especially along the footpath through the woods between Sophienholm and the kayak club. You also pass the important rowing stadium and the Aldershvile Slotspavillon, from where boats depart in the summer and which is very famous from the TV series Matador.

A wooden bridge spanning the access channel between Bagsværdsø and Lyngbysø. Quite steep, but easily walkable thanks to small wooden planks.

A beautiful castle with an art exhibition and café. Some of the art can also be viewed for free in the garden, as the walking path leads through it anyway. The garden itself is also very lovely and offers plenty of seating. The Norwegian-style cottage has a cool staircase and a beautiful view of the lake.

Bagsværd Lake is the second-largest lake in the Mølleå lake system, just north of Copenhagen. On this lake, rowing competitions (regatta) are taking place. The shore offers beautiful views, lots of resting places and meadows. In the middle of Bagsværd Lake lies the small island of Gåseholm.
