Ryvangens Naturpark Copenhagen

A slice of nature

Charlotte from Copenhagen

I'm a used-to-be social worker transitioning to something else. We contain multitudes, right? For now, I'm focused on filling life with things that feel meaningful, like travel, connections, and creativity - piece by piece, a new picture is forming. A huge nerd when it comes to community, I'm always looking for new initiatives to be inspired by. Why Copenhagen? Copenhagen might not be ...
"People are enjoying this patch of nature year round, and you’ll almost be certain to meet at least a few joggers, bikers and other nature lovers."

If you happen to visit the neighboring Memorial Park (which you really should consider doing), then why not treat yourself to a little walk in the surrounding slice of nature afterwards?

Edged between Memorial Park, the train tracks, and a residential neighborhood, this is a lovely little oasis. There’s a small lake, and if you’re lucky, you can catch a glimpse of the residing heron. Depending on the season, you might also meet a few sheeps or horses in a pop-up enclosure.

People are enjoying this patch of nature year round, and you’ll almost be certain to meet at least a few joggers and bikers, a tired parent trying to walk their baby to sleep in a stroller, or folks simply taking a break on one of the benches. There are several designated spots for campfires, making it a popular place for picnics in the summer.

From the park it’s just a short walk to the ocean at Tuborg harbor, and since it’s located right between Hellerup Station and Ryparken Station, it’s easy to include on your to-do-list of Copenhagen adventures.

The nature park is always open, and it's (naturally) free.

I'm a used-to-be social worker transitioning to something else. We contain multitudes, right? For now, I'm focused on filling life with things that feel meaningful, like travel, connections, and creativity - piece by piece, a new picture is forming. A huge nerd when it comes to community, I'm always looking for new initiatives to be inspired by. Why Copenhagen? Copenhagen might not be the biggest of cities, but there's so much going on; so many events, subcultures, and places to uncover. I love just to wander the streets with exploration as my only mission, and even though I've liv...

Dansekapellet

Dancing at the old crematorium

Dancing under the dome in the big ellipse-shaped room or simply lying down for a sound bath is a wonderful way to spend your time in Copenhagen.

Svanemølle-molen

Best pier in town

Even when the temperature descends to freezing, you’ll still see folks making use of the space, many just walking to the tip and enjoying the view.

Café Lindevang

Tradition since 1938

You come for the tradition and the ambience, but just as importantly, you come for the good food. Nothing too fancy, but hearty and delicious.

Biblioteket Rentemestervej

Not just a library

So go wander amongst the students engaged in discussions, people meeting for language exchange and remember to notice the local art decorating the walls.

Lersøparken

Plenty of space

What's especially great about this patch of nature is the huge grass lawn. A lot of people come here to play soccer, frisbee or to walk their dogs.
