Hiking

The Rødedam was created by building dams and was originally used to raise carp for the royal family. If the water level had to be reduced, the water was channeled through a ditch into the nearby Frederik 2.'s Canal. The dam lake was actually overgrown and renatured and is now the second largest lake in Gribskov. Remnants of the canal can still be seen on the path that has been closed to mountain bikers. This was just one of the many canals that ended up ensuring sufficient water for the mill and lake at Frederiksborg Castle.
