==Sights== [[Image:Bakken entry.jpg|thumb|Entrance to Dyrehavsbakken]] The historic Jægersborg Dyrehave in the municipality, means that there are several historic buildings in the municipality. *[[Dyrehavsbakken]] is an amusement park located by Jægersborg Dyrehave. It is the second largest tourist attraction in Denmark, the first being the [[Tivoli (Copenhagen)|Tivoli Gardens]]. Unlike Tivoli, admission is free in Dyrehavsbakken. It opened in 1583 and is the world's oldest operating amusement park. The origins of the park are said to come from a young girl named Kirsten Piil, who in 1583 found a natural spring in Jægersborg Dyrehave. This spring attracted people from Copenhagen and eventually gathered large crowds, which attracted entertainers, causing the foundation of the amusement park.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bakkens historie |url=https://www.bakken.dk/om-os/bakkens-historie/ |website=Bakken.dk |access-date=23 July 2021}}</ref> *[[Frilandsmuseet]] is an [[open-air museum]] located in Sorgenfri.
