A medival amusment park is still open to visitors



This is where all the Medieval adrenaline junkies went to kill time after all the dragons had been slayed.

Klampenborg, located about 7.5 miles north of Copenhagen, Denmark, is home to a 400-year-old marvel known today as the Bakken Amusment Park.

The park contains over 100 rides including roller coasters, merry-go rounds, a tunnel of love, snack bars, open air restaurants and much more. The park was open to the public in 1583 and has been operational ever since. It also boasts a wooden roller coaster from 1932.

During the Medieval period, Europe was home to many similar parks such as Bakken, but most of these ancient pleasure gardens did not survive the test of time. The park preserves its good old charm even to this day, as only bicycles and horse drawn carriages are allowed inside, which makes Bakken a one of a kind amusement park.
