Høsterkøb
Høsterkøb is a small village located in the Rudersdal Municipality of Denmark, in the Capital Region of Zealand. It is situated approximately 20 kilometers north of Copenhagen.
The area surrounding Høsterkøb is characterized by rolling hills, farmland, and forests. Søndersø, a lake popular for recreation and nature observation, is located nearby. Historically, the village has been an agricultural community, though today many residents commute to work in the greater Copenhagen area.
