10 Things to Do in Copenhagen in November

Copenhagen in November is a lovely place to visit due to the change of season, with beautiful autumn landscapes that you will find an incredible sight. It is low season, so you will be able to appreciate the culture and architecture of the city without the crowds of tourists.

Additionally, the city has a wealth of cultural events and festivals in November. From art and music exhibitions to Christmas markets and food festivals, you're sure to find some of the best things to see and do in Copenhagen for all tastes and ages.

Every first Sunday in November, the Hubertusjagt is held in Dyrehaven, Klampenborg, about 18 km north of the city. This is an extreme horse race in which riders must overcome tricky trials to win, so it's a good event to make one of the best excursions from Copenhagen.

The race course sets a route of more or less thirteen kilometers through the forest, starting at Peter Liep's House, to complete a total of 35 obstacles that riders and their horses must overcome. You will see beautiful and dramatic jumps over ditches, long floats in the air on deep landings. But above all you will enjoy the most famous jump, which is the one over the black pond, where one or more riders have to take a dip in the cold, muddy water.

During the work you will be able to identify the foxes, who are nothing more than riders with fox tails, who are in charge of marking the way. Then you will see the Master, who can be identified by his tall hat, and the two Sidemasters, who keep the pace and distance. After the tour has advanced a little, there is a break at the Hermitage Castle, so that the riders and horses can get more strength for the last and most demanding part of the tour, which is when they will have to pass the pond.
