Gyldenløves Høj
Gyldenløves Høj is a high point on Sjælland, used to be though the highest at 125.5 m above mean sea level. Kobanke near Rønnede is the highest natural point, however, at 122.9 m, as Gyldenløves Høj is only 121.3 m without the artificial mound constructed at the summit.Gyldenløves Høj is located in the Bidstrup forests in the parish of Jystrup between Ringsted og Hvalsø. Gyldenløves Høj is named after Ulrik Gyldenløve, half-brother of Christian V and owner of the nearby Skjoldenæsholm. In the late 17th century he raised an artificial hill on the original hilltop. Without this Gyldenløves Høj would be only 121.3 m above mean sea level placing it below Kobanke at Rønnede.During World War II the allies airdropped weapons for the resistance movement at the hill.The hill is surrounded by trees obscuring the view and the fact that the hill is the highest point on Sjælland. During winter there is a bit of a view to the West. There is a Triangulation station marked GS (Generalstaben) at the foot of the artificial part of the hill.
