==Geography== Hellebæk occupies a narrow strip between the Kattegat and forest Teglstrup Hegn. The hinterland consists of hilly terrain that was formed by the Øresund Glacier during the last Ice Age some 10,000 years BC. The landscape is characterized by a number of southeast-to-northwest oriented, parallel streams and many small lakes, bogs and marshy depressions.
