Gyldenløves Høj

Gyldenløves Høj is the highest point on Sjælland, 125.5 m above mean sea level. It 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.
