This Danish family was stunningly close to a HUGE herd of leaping deer in Blåvand, Denmark.

Footage from April 11, shows the deer running and leaping across the courtyard and into a small forest.

The filmer, Katarina, told Newsflare: "They seemed very scared and panicked, running from something but we couldn't see from what.

"We were just standing at the pool house and were only half a metre away from getting hit by the deer.

"Amazing and stunning view. I only managed to record half of it. It was once in a lifetime. Kids were in the swimming pool and witnessed everything. They were amazed as well. And all cars stopped..."

Giant bunch of deer running and jumping... across courtyard, in the town (urban side), coming from the beach side, crossing the main road. Seem very scared and running panic from something and we can’t see from what. We were just standing at the pool house and were only a half meter away from getting hit by deer in panic. Amazing and stunning view. I “only” managed to record half of it. It was once in the life time. Kids were in the swimming pool and witnessed everything. They were amazed as well. And all cars stopped...
