Nationalpark Skjoldungernes Land was the first national park in Zealand inaugurated in 2015. The national park covers an area that stretches over Roskilde, Lejre and Frederikssund and it’s just a 30-minute drive from Copenhagen.  

The national park is named after the legendary royal family the Skjoldungerne, often called the Scyldings in English. They are the descendants of the mythical King Skjold, who was sent to the Danes by Odin himself. The Scyldings are known from Saxo’s History of Denmark, the Icelandic sagas and the famous Old English poem Beowulf and other sources, which place this family in Lejre.
