three basins that cover more than 650 square meters. The bathing
facilities have life savers constantly on duty and both bathing
places have from the very beginning been a great success.
Since – several more Harbour Bathing facilities have
been established alongside Copenhagen’s harbour front.

- HUBERTUS HUNT - 2024 - The Deer Park (Dyrehaven)
Every year the Eremitage Plain and Deer Park is the centre
for the annual and traditional Hubertus Hunt - and since the
first hunt with hounds in 1905 - was conducted. The traditional
Hubertus Hunt was a race on horses to pursue a fox - but today
it is only a fox's tail pinned to the shoulder of the leading
rider that the hunters have to chase - and the race on horses
with red uniform jackets involves a lot of jumps and leaps
- and the biggest challenge is crossing the waters of the
“Magasindammen” - The Magasin-Pound - where most
of the cheering audience are gathered to experience some of
the riders being thrown into the muddy waters of the pound.
The Hubertus Hunt has been a great attraction every first
Sunday of November - where more than 100 horses and riders
in their red uniforms participate in this event that is surrounded
by almost 40.000-50.000 enthusiastic spectators every year.c
