Experiences along the route Photographer Visit Copenhagen Cykelslangen - the Bicycle Snake Start the trip at the end of Cykelslangen (The Bicycle Snake) by Bryggebroen. Both bridges are great examples of Copenhagen as a world-class cycling city. Photographer Signe Nors Sluseholmen Sluseholmen was previously a large industrial area. Today, it is a modern maritime community with a total of 8 residential islands with streets named after famous jazz musicians who have lived in Copenhagen. Jump in the harbour, take a break or rent a kay Photographer Signe Nors Fiskerihavnen Fiskerihavnen is a local maritime community with small boat sheds and self built houses. Small fishing boats head to the sea from here, leaving the smell of paint and stain behind. Neptune and mermaids are full of life at Fiskerihavnen.

Photographer Ursula Bach Valbyparken Once the wind is seen and heard in the 1 km long avenue with poplar trees leading all the way into Valbyparken, urban surfers get ready to breath the morning air and throw themselves into the waves. In 2021 Valbyparkens very own beach opened. Photographer Ursula Bach Valbyparken Nature Playground The massive nature playground in Valbyparken offers activities for children of all ages. Opening hours can be found at kk.dk/naturlegepladsen Photographer Ulrich Jakobsson Valby Hallen og Vandkulturhuset Valby Idrætspark offers plenty of activities both outside and inside.

Photographer Signe Nors Vestre Kirkegård Being the country's largest burial site, Vestre Kirkegård seems infinitely large. Colloquially, the lake in front of the North Chapel is referred to as 'The Red Sea', as many former social democratic prime ministers are buried here. Photographer Signe Den Gule By & Jernbanebyen A different world emerges in the form of a time pocket - Den Gule By (The Yellow City) and the newly founded hub in nine old wooden barns from 1909, Banegaarden.
