Klampenborg Racecourse (Danish: Klampenborg Galopbane) is a flat horse racing track in Klampenborg in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The first organized horse races in Denmark were held in Copenhagen in 1770 at the initiative of the British born queen Caroline Mathilde. Regular horse races took places at Copenahgen's Nørre Fælled from the 1820s. The races were moved to the Hermitage Plain in Jægersborg Dyrehave in 1870. The first race there took place on 15 June. [1]
Klampenborg Racetracks (then Klampenborg Væddeløbsbane) was inaugurated in 1910. It was owned by the Association for the Promotion of the Noble Horse Breeding (Foreningen til den Ædle Hesteavls Fremme). It is believed that the tribune was moved from the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1906. [2]
The racecourse is located adjacent to Jægersborg Dyrehave. The racecourse is circa 2.400 m long. A new tribune designed by Dissing + Weitling was inaugurated in 2000.
Major races include Scandinavian Open Championship, Dansk Derby and Dansk Oaks.

Fæstningskanalen is a canal in central Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, Copenhagen, Denmark. Created in the 1880s as part of the new fortification ring around the Danish capital, it runs from Lyngby Lake in the west to Lyngby Hovedgade in the east. From there it originally continued to Ermelunden in Jægersborg Dyrehave, but this last leg of the canal is no longer filled with water. The project also included a more upstream straightening of the section of Mølleåen that connects Furesø in the west to the west side of Lyngby Lake in the east. The canal complemented the West Rampart (Vestvolden) and a series of coastal fortresses which were built at the same time. In the event of an enemy invasion, a dam at each end of the canal, one at Frederiksdal and one at Ermelunden, would be opened, and the natural drainage of Lyngby Lake would be blocked, leading to the flooding of an extensive area of land along Hvidørebækken all the way out to the Øresund coast. Water would also be led through Gentofte Lake to Utterslev Mose, leading to further floodings. Together with the moat in front of the West Rampart, this would create a complete water barrier around the Danish capital.
