Holløse Bredning is a wet area which has earlier been an arm of the Isefjord from the west. It is a protected bird reserve with many species of birds and you may see the sea eagle.
Interestingly, since the area has been sometimes above and sometimes below sea level during the last 5,000 years, people have raised different means of crossing, reflecting the elevation of the path and their different technologies. The roads and bridges area is off limits and only partially excavated. You can see e.g. remains of a stone age wooden bridge structure or an iron age paved road.

Culture & Heritage
A rennaisance castle raised 1600-20 as a prestige project for Christian IV, a Danish king famous for failing as a king but succeeding as a builder of great buildings. Well, hooray for him, this castle with surrounding baroque garden (established around 1720) are absolutely stunning and certainly worth a visit. The site museum will sometimes run themed exhibitions with activities for children & family.
