Naturcenter Herstedhøje is Vestskoven's highest hill and perhaps biggest attraction. It is used for many different activities. Runners and cyclists lay their exercise route up the challenging hill. However, it is not only exercisers who benefit from the mound. Others use the stronger wind for kite flying, model gliding and paragliding. Most walk up the hill and enjoy the view of the countryside. The top of Herstedhøje is, 67 meters above sea level and therefore there is a magnificent view of the entire Vestegnen. On the horizon, the towers in Inner Copenhagen are clearly visible, and it is also possible to glimpse Stevns Klint and Roskilde Cathedral in clear weather.
The nature on Herstedhøje itself is also exciting, as it varies from bottom to top and from slope to slope. The difference in soil moisture, wind speed and solar radiation means that different plants and small animals live on different surfaces of the mound and at different heights. Another factor that has a great influence on nature on the mound is the sheep. During the summer, numerous flocks graze the mound, and the goal is for us to have them all year round. The sheep grazing helps to create a rich and varied natural content.
The construction of Herstedhøje was started in 1968, and the hill is built of approx. 3,000,000 m³ of land, rubble and concrete blocks that were discarded as construction waste.
Today, Herstedhøje functions as a large recreational nature area in Vestskoven.
Vestskoven was established in the late 1960s to provide easy access to recreational areas for the rapidly growing population of Copenhagen's western suburbs in accordance with the Finger Plan. The area was landscaped with artificial hills and lakes. The first trees were planted in 1967.
