Nature Park Amager

The Nature Park between the Two Towers – From the Tower of Copenhagen City Hall to the Pilot Tower of Dragør

Just south of Dragør Harbor Nature Park Amager opens up with protected beach meadows.

The park covers a large area of protected land and offers spectacular nature with an outstanding coastline. Here you can spend the night under the stars in shelters and in tents on campsites. Camp fire sites are available. For camping, booking in advance is necessary at www.udinaturen.dk

Kongelunden Fortress

On the southern tip of Amager stands Kongelunden Fortress offering a breathtaking view of Køge Bay and the skyline of Ørestaden – and of Dragør.
