Jægersborg Dyrehave is a forest park located in the eastern part of Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, bordering Taarbæk to the east. The amusement park [[Dyrehavsbakken]] is located in the southern part of the park. The park spans 11 km<sup>2</sup> and is home to around 2000 [[Red deer|red]] and [[fallow deer]]. There are 19 gates to the park, all of them painted a characteristic red. The current design of the gates date back to the 1700s. The park is home to many old oaks, the oldest being around 850 years old and known as ''Skovfogedegen'' (literally "forest ranger oak"), named such because it is located next to the forest ranger house ''Klampehus''. The oak is hollow, and has throughout history been used for many things, including church ceremonies and as a shed for peat. Another oak is named Christian V's Oak, named such because [[Christian V of Denmark|Christian V]] suffered his fatal hunting injury nearby, when he was kicked by a wounded deer. Another old oak is named ''Ulvedalsegen'' and is around 600—700 years old. The park is also home to [[Crataegus|hawthorn]], most of it naturally occurring. In the park is a mass grave from the [[Black Death]] victims from the 1600s and 1700s. These graves have been planted with hawthorn.<ref>{{cite web |title=Seværdigheder i Dyrehaven |url=https://naturstyrelsen.dk/naturoplevelser/naturguider/jaegersborg-dyrehave/sevaerdigheder/ |website=Naturstyrelsen.dk |access-date=4 June 2021}}</ref>
